Print style sheets are a unique beast. For example you can't expect background (colors or images) to print. Once using JavaScript to manipulate your page you have to be careful to understand how that is going to impact your print style sheet. Inline styles will overwrite styles in the print style sheet. You will need to use the !important key word on any rules that might be overwritten and with IE you can always hook into the onbeforeprint and onafterprint events.
In the end you'll realize that you are very, very limited to what you can do when printing. You might find this ALA article helpful: http://alistapart.com/stories/goingtoprint/ -- Brandon Aaron On 5/26/07, Feed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello all, I've used jQuery to manipulate, stripe and add hover effect to all tables in my website (dozens of tables). There's a print button in my website and I didn't remember to test it until now. OMG, all the striping is gone. I'm not a programming guru, in fact I'm a designer but I have to deal with code often. Well, is there way to make jQuery actually MAKE the changes to the HTML code instead of making it on the fly (only viewable in the monitor)? I know, it's not a server-side language, but I'm kinda desperated right now.
