I'm struggling for hours now why the @media print is not working, I search on Google even on this site and nothing helped, so that's why I post this question. I'm testing it on Google chrome print preview (ctrl p) but i also printed to page and it stays blank.
I try'd to make a separate css file and also a embedded css style into the page.
Here is my code
Headers
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/reset.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" media="print" />
HTML
<div id="bruikleenovereenkomst">
<div id="blo_header">
</div>
<div id="blo_side_top"></div>
<div id="blo_side_bottom"></div>
</div>
CSS normal styles
div#bruikleenovereenkomst {
width:595px;
height:842px;
background-color:#fff;
position:relative;
}
div#blo_header {
width:100%;
height:125px;
background-color:#FBE983;
z-index:9
}
div#blo_side_top {
width:57px;
height:420px;
background-color:#B6CAE5;
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:0;
z-index:99;
}
div#blo_side_bottom {
width:57px;
height:420px;
background-image:url(../images/leaflet.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
position:absolute;
right:0;
bottom:0;
z-index:99;
}
CSS print styles (print.css) note: the div#bruikleenovereenkomst is just a black block for testing.
@media print{
body {
margin:0;
}
h1#logo {
display:none;
}
ul#menu {
display:none;
}
div#bruikleenovereenkomst {
width:100%;
height:500px;
background-color:#000;
}
div#blo_header {
display:none;
}
div#blo_side_top {
display:none;
}
div#blo_side_bottom {
display:none;
}
}
All I get with printing is just a blank page.
If you are using @media print, you need to add !important in your styles, or the page will use the element's inline styles that have higher priority.
E.g.
<div class="myelement1" style="display:block;">My div has an inline style.</div>
In @media print, add !important and be a winner
@media print {
.myelement1, .myelement2 { display: none !important; }
}
