Printing Question

[Kalisto]

Ive got a problem printing a HTML page out.

Ive wrapped the page in a table with a width of 190mm.

When I print the page out however, there are items in the table that are printed way to the right, such that a logo on the right hand side of the page, is only half in. (i.e. the printed area is 190mm, but the page is somehow 210mm, and so is being cropped.)

The Page has been 'mauled' by another designer, so it now has a css and inline styling elements. However, as I understand it, inline elements override those in the css?

Can anyone suggest how I track down this issue and get it so that my page can be printed out onto a single sheet of A4.

Cheers

K

Get Firefox and install the Firebug extension. You will be able to edit the CSS "in real time" and see the changes (use print preview, or change the media attribute of the print css to include the string "all" instead of just "print").

Then you can inspect individual elements (the logo for instance) and see what styles are being applied to them.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
