Hi all
I have a design problem that has to be fixed before release!!
We have a bankapplication and whant to dynamically print an invoice with some information on it. I've tried to use CSS for this but and it works fine in the browser - but when I print the page , the text slides down 5 mm !
I hav a scanned picture of the invoice and use ASP and CSS to place the dynamic text on top of the picture so it looks like a real invoice to the customer... But when I print
!!
My questions are:
Can this be done with CSS or should I try another technique?
Do you have any suggestions on other ways to do it?
I cant set any "hard" demands on the clients browser (e.g. Acrobat, XML/XSL etc)
Do you have any ideas?
/Regards
NiklasI don't think this problem can be fixed. You could use the "page-break-before" things, etc., but you probably already have. If the text only slides down about 5mm, that might be about the best you can do. Sorry!A bit difficoult to advise since you don't even link to the page, let alone OS or browsers tested with.
What I can suggest is to use smnaller top margin (negative if needed).I've heard about this issue before in Micro$oft browsers, it would also help if you defined the paper size using the relevant CSS.
But I assume you want your customers to print the document themselves, if so you'll have problems since you don't know how their machines are configured and what user-agents they are running.
