CSS Styles for Print
Filed Under Web Developer, CSS Resources | Comments Off
I know that I should create a separate style sheet for print, yet I often don’t take the time to do so. This is another standard that should be part of my normal routine.
I am currently working on a wordpress blog for a ministry in my church and need to provide a printable form that will enable users to print the form to be mailed with payment to the church.
Printing from a blog can create a lot of code, especially if you have a lot of posts, comments and history. In my quest to figure this out, I stumbled upon an article by Michael Meadhra, of Builder.com, entitled Tips for creating CSS styles for print. This easy to read and use 2-page article is a MUST read if you want to learn this skill. Check it out!
And this is the style that resulted from my lesson:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
background-color: white;
color: black;
}
a:link,a:visited {
color: #3333CC;
text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: bold;
}
div#top-nav {
display: none;
}
div#sidebar {
display: none;
}div#search-box {
display: none;
}div#content{
width: 100%;
margin: 0pt;
padding: 0pt;
}
