my webpages are unprintable

they are, so they are!!

ive been told its because

internet explorer will adjust text to fit on a page when you print, but because it is unable to adjust the images across the top of the page.

so now that a client has been asked for the site to be printer friendly im doomed to redoing the whole site... here is the site if anyone wants to see it, still not live!

does anyone know a efficient way to change this, so far these are my possibilities:

1. You can redesign your whole site to solve the problem.

2. You can create a printer view. Basically Make another copy of the same page without all the images. Linked to the main page. (click here for printer view). It's on a lot of sites.

3. Put a note on the page for users to print using landscape setting on their printer.

2 is out, 1 is shit, 3 i dunno!!

what you think? help great appreciated!

I cant access the site that you have put up so i really cannot advise without seeing it. If the site isnt dynamic then just zip it up and email it to me at iq@thefaction.co.uk and i'll check it out for you mate, otherwise see if you can get a working link and i'll give you some bad misleading advice :lol: ;)

that link is working for me.... let me see if i can email it to you!!! feckin wreckin my head....they guy who gives me the work is now telling me that i need to do it to all my previous sites!! :eh:

emailed you there! thanks man ;)

create an empty stylesheet called print.css and within it put the following code:

Code:

---

image {display:none; overflow:hidden; }

---

add the following at the end of your css in every page:

Code:

---

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" />

---

Haven't tested, but i think this will sort you out, tho it will not print images.
