Printing the whole width

marclena · July 1st, 2005, 06:01 AM

Hi, I have a problem qith IE.
I have a page wich has a scroll right bar because all the content doesn't fit on the page.
I have a print button which does a window.print
However it doen't print the whole content of the page only what you can see.
I download a free control which was fitting all the width content on the page and it works ok, however I don't want to install this control on all the clients.
Does anyone knows how to do that using javascript, CSS or whatever it suits it?

Thanks

This is a known "feature" of IE.
You can create a printer friendly version of your page using CSS. Have a stylesheet with the @media set to print. Set the width of the page to something that will print.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
@media print {
   body {width: 20cm;}
}
</style>

You may have do a bit of trial and error to get the width that will work.
