Printing from layers set to scroll in Dreamweaver

[alexanderdelarge]

Does anyone know of a way to get all the material of a page to print when the information is contained in a layer set to scroll? Only the portion of the text which is currently visible prints when you hit the browser print button. If anyone knows a workaround for this it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Webmaster World, alexanderdelarge.

As far as I know there is no work-around for this issue, except for creating a special "printer-friendly page". But I'm all ears if someone does have a solution.

You could do something with the media attribute for printing. See this thread [webmasterworld.com] for an introduction. (This won't work in NN4.)

You would need to use CSS to control the scrolling of the DIVs. Then when it's printed you could use a different class definition with the whole of the DIV visible.

A possible solution that depends heavily on your original layout, I guess.

Best of luck.
