Topic: Tripoli print CSS

I have recently made a website using the Tripoli framework (alpha version), and, to tell the truth, I wasn't satisfied with the print stylesheet which came packed, so I went on creating my own. Also, I have noticed that beta version of Tripoli doesn't include the print style anymore, so this could make a great solution for the package.

Now, here is the link to my solution: here

I hope that this "does the work". It did in my case wink

Re: Tripoli print CSS

Hey neondragon, that looks pretty well done. Have you tried printing different html pages from different browsers? Are there many visual differences?

Re: Tripoli print CSS

Well, I've tried it with Firefox and IE, and the results are satisfying. There will always be a difference, mainly because IE renders the pages differently than other browsers. Here is the list of things that are different:

- there is a big margin around the hr tag in IE
- the page margin (which is set on paper) is different in IE, although body margins in CSS are set to zero
- IE doesn't display the page address next to links (like in Firefox)

These are just some examples, and it is a quick list of main problems. There are a couple more, and they are based upon the fact that the stylesheet isn't completed (lists, other tags, like pre, xmp, and object/embed). But, for the purpose it was made, the stylesheet "did the job".
