Hello, <br />

is there any way I can set that when I print my page, it also print the background colors of tables, and td's?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot,<br />
<br />

[PS: I may be totally wrong here. But thats what my IE does and I didn't tinker with any of its settings]<!--content-->Hmm,<br />
<br />
that's not good. So there is no way, I can make sure the background gets printed on client...<br />
<br />
Does anybody know of a way around this?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Mike<!--content-->Use a graphics editor to make a 1 x 1 pixel image. Fill it with the color you want, set it as the background image. (it should tile to fill the cell)<br />
<br />
Not sure if it will work, but if it prints background images, it should!!<br />

Dave<!--content-->You can use print stylesheets<br />
<link rel="stylesheet" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"style.css" type="text/css" media="print"><br />
<br />
For most cases, I'd suggest to use white-on-black printing, with font sizes in pt and less wider font (eg Times or Arial instead of Verdana). and {display: none} set for navigation bar.<br />
<br />
However if you choose to, you can set the browser to print the background color. I doubt if it'll work if someone overrides the print styles.<!--content-->
