 Topic: Printing bgColor or bgImage
Posted: 25 November 2003 at 3:21am |
Is it possible to print the background color ???
Basically, I have a table whose rows have alternating bg colors (White & Grey). When I print the page, the bg colors are all white.
Is this possible? I even tried using a grey.gif as the bg image, but still doesnt work. Also, I dont want to have to rely on the end users (IE5.5+) to change their settings.
Thx

???
The problem is that whatever color you set the background to, it will not print.
This is a default setting in IE - but I dont want the users to have to change their IE settings. Is there some way to 'cheat' IE into printing the bg color ???

Ah right sorry misunderstod your question.
As far as I know, the only way is to use images in layers, bacgkrounds will be ignored, that includes background colour and image

That's done to save printer ink, so don't use it to much  . It's there for a reason.

It's a client-side option in IE. - Check Internet Options|Tools|Advanced.
