a problem to print scrollable div tag

[Plato2]

I have a scrollable div tag:
<div style="OVERFLOW-Y: scroll; OVERFLOW: scroll;"></div>
I want to print the content of the div tag but when I print the content of the div I only print the part that is visible(because my div is scrollable).

How can I print the content of the div even if the content is not visible during the scrolling?

Thanks in advance

What is not visible will not print. You can override that by simply specifying overflow: auto; (it will scroll when too much text is entered) for the screen and overflow: visible; (the container will expand when too much text is entered) for the printing. I have explained how to do it in this thread:

As far as I understand I just changed the overflow when I want to print:
Like this:
divTAG.style.overflow="visible";
window.print();
But it still doesn't print the whole content of the div tag. Any suggestions?

Try this thread:

It gives a good solution.

There is a small problem when I print my scrollable div and
make overflow visible it moves my div little bit to the right so the print result looks a bit different than in browser.

Is there is any reason why?

Thanks

I just love it how the thread wasn't good enough when I posted it but later it sufficed.

I noticed that, too ;-). I think it was originally just overlooked...the rest of your post was about printing using a "visible" instead of "auto", so I guess Js was the first way thought of to do that...

I guessed that that was what had happened, so thought I'd repost the URL for you ;o)
