| Hi, I'm having trouble getting my link tag to work with Firefox. It works fine with IE. Does Firefox handle this tag in a very different manor? Index.html contains one set of data, and altdoc.html contains different data. Clicking the "print" button in IE prints altdoc.html, but in Firefox it prints index.html I'm not even getting "LAWL IE SI FAR NUBS". Is this thing on? |
| Are you sure that is supposed to work in FF? Print stylesheet tend to be a better idea. |
| What do you mean by "print stylesheet"? Oh, ok. Yeah, I'd prefer that the link method works. The print data is radically different. Isn't this part of the standard? The validator didn't complain about it, at least |
| Didnt you check that before you came here asking why it doesnt work in ff? |
| No, I didn't. I figured that if the validator didn't complain, it was part of the standard. I'll check now. |
| The validator doesnt complain if i use invalid english spelling in documents either. so...: LAWL IE SI FAR NOOBS |
| :\ Http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-links Http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.3 It SEEMS to be part of the spec. Perhaps I'm just missing something |
| Yeah, you should be looking at the spec for window.print() |
| Alright, I'll work at that a bit more then. Thanks |
| How is it an alternate presentation of the data if it is radically different for printers? |
| Ikopar,The data for the printout is greatly simplified. There's a bunch of javascript to make it pretty and interactive, that would look bad with printing. |
| kadamat, so give those things display: none; ? |
| Ikopar, it's probably easiest to show you. Let me take screenshots. Ah heck. Just noticed a bigger problem with printing. Thanks for the help and suggestion |
