Hi
I don't know if this is even possible but I want to have an image print in a different position to that shown on screen. I thought that I should be able to use the 'print' and 'screen' media tags in css to do this, but they only seem to allow for re-formatting when printing and not actually moving the print position. Is that right- I can't use the 'print' tag to, say, have an image shown at the top of the screen printed at the bottom of a piece of paper?
Regards
StuartYou can do that.
Look at this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cheers-sendai.com/printing.htm">http://cheers-sendai.com/printing.htm</a><!-- m -->) in your browser and then try a print preview (or even try printing it if you like). You'll see the difference.Originally posted by BonRouge

Thanks for that - good to know that it's possible (that's often more than half the battle).
What I actually have is a frameset where the user enters text which is superimposed over an image - hitting print should then hopefully print out both image and superimposed text, but at a point on the page specified by me, rather than what's on screen.
If you have time (no problem if not), the page in question is here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thiswaydown.org/add_text_print.html">http://www.thiswaydown.org/add_text_print.html</a><!-- m -->) - what I'd ideally like to do is have two print buttons, one of which prints to a printer as seen on screen and the other which prints to a printer directly below where the first printed image would be.
Thanks again
StuartOh wait there, being stupid - figured it out.
Many thanks BonRouge.
