Force Table Cell Show When Printed

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 02.2010

I’m adapting an Excel spreadsheet to an ASP.NET page. The spreadsheet is used for scheduling where the resource’s comitment to a date is shown by simply changing the cells color say from white to black. I’ve been able to replicate the same functionality by simply changing the cells background-color as needed. However when I printed the page, none of the highlighted cells are displayed. The are properly rendered as highlighted when the page is viewed on-screen.

Do I need to explicity place a character in the cells?

Is there something else going on?

Nope. I'm using a repeater with a a placeholder. The repeaters ItemBound event creates a table for entry with 1 cell for the description and 31 cells for the dates. As it loops through creating the cells, it checks to see if the cell's backcolor could be changed to denote a date.

Yes, I have to provide a print-specific page since I wrap the information in a scrolling div.

Success!
