This chapter explains how to use the printer friendly CSS styles on your web site. These styles are used only if a document is sent to a printer.

 

1.Create a new CSS style sheet in Site Manager -> Development -> CSS style sheets, name it Printer styles and set its code name to Printer_styles, for example.  See the simple example bellow for an illustration of the printer friendly CSS styles created for our default Corporate site.

 

.zoneLeft, .zoneRight, .zoneTopInfo, .zoneTop, .horizontalmenu, .zoneBottom

{

 display: none;

}

.eventCalendarDetail .zoneLeft, .eventCalendarDetail zoneRight

{

 display: block;

}

.eventCalendarDetail zoneRight

{

 float: left;

}

.logonReg .zoneLeft, .logonReg .zoneRight

{

 display: block;

}

.logonReg .zoneRight

{

 float: left;

}        

.zoneContent

{

 float: left !important;

}

 

Please note that you have to hide the all the elements that should not be visible in the print version. You can do this by adding display:none; to the given style.

 

2.Add to the master page header tag link to appropriate CSS style. For example:

 

<link href="CMSPages/GetCSS.aspx?stylesheetname=Printer_styles" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="print" />
