[Solved]How to print the wole page ?

Post by seensite »

Hello,

I would like to print my website, including header, footer, navigation and images: www.exclusive-properties.ch. I am using CMSMS 1.4.1 with all standard modules, I tried to modify the Print stylesheet but it doesn't work. I guess it is quiet simple but I didn't find any clue in Forum to have a page entirely printed as it is displayed in the web browsers. Does anyone have an idea ?

Many thanks

It's all in the print style sheet, which is used to override your normal style sheets for printing. Some browsers don't handle some things well when printing like 'floats', so these have been removed in the print style sheet. So it unlikely that your page will look exactly the same as on screen, indeed the screen and the paper are very different mediums.

But the question is why would you want it to? Why print out web site navigation or footers? Much better to create a good print style sheet, so people can print out something nice. The included print style sheet is only a basic one, for better layout when printing, you will have to write some CSS.

Hello Russ,

Thanks for your answer

It is my customer wish... I find the print better without navigation and... too, but sometimes customers do have strange and strong ideas they will not change even if you explain them the advantages and the "why" of something. I guess I'll have to write a print css for this one.
