Print without images

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 09.2006

Hi, I have pages where some of the images force the text to the right, resulting in some of the text being chopped off when printing.

The text is enclosed in a table which must be a set width, not relative.

Is there a script which will load the same web page into a window, but without images and then auto-fire the print window?

I need to keep the text formatting but just lose the images… or have them resized to zero if they can’t be lost.

many thanks in advance if you can help. ?

@mjdamatoDec 09.2006 — A better approach, in my opinion, would be to use style properties. You can set different style properties for an element when viewed in a browser, on a PDA, when printed, etc. Simply set the style for the image when printed to none.

Simply give the image a class like this:

<img href="image.jpg" [b]class="noprint"[/b]>

Then add this to your stylesheet:

@media print {

.noprint { display: none; }

}

Now, the image will appear when viewed onscreen but will not appear when printed - and other elements will shift, as appropriate to fill the missing space.
