Printing Legends

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 03.2003

Has anyone ever had an issue printing legends?
eg: <legend>Printing problems</legends>

When I try a print preview it looks fine, everything is there. But when I print, none of the legends are seen.

I’ve tried setting the print options, checked my browser IE 6.01 to print all images and background. Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas to sheed some light on this work be great.

thanks

I think the problem is with IE 6, apparently there is a bug with IE. Trying to do some investigation. It's a drag because I've a Lab assignment that I'm supposed to hand in and he wants a hard copy.

Thanks ?

So why don't you use another browser to print the page then...

@chloezauthorMar 03.2003 — Well the result of the lab out teacher wants us to do looks like crap in Netscape. In addition out teacher said he didn't want us to work with Netscape because of those results.

He figures Netscape is not as popular, so I'm kinda stuck.

From what I am reading there seems to be a bug with IE. So what you see as a print preview looks different once printed.

I'm working on XP so I'm gonna access my other O/S 2000 and see what the results are there with IE.

Hopefully it'll be ok, otherwise I'll have to go into the registry do some figuring and then try loading IE again in XP. If that doesn't work I might have to do a repair on XP.

It's just bad timing you know, I needed this like a toothache.

Well, that is unfortunate, becuse that most likely depends on the code being crappy.

Is there no way you can fix the lab data so it's correct markup (enabeling it to display correctly in NS or eg Opera)?

@chloezauthorMar 04.2003 — The coding is just simple, but you know being NS things tend to look different after all is done.

Opera I'm not sure of. After the course is finished I'll take a look at opera and see how things look in it.

Were using FP, but I've only FP 2000. Trying to c if I can find 2002. Maybe there are more options who knows.

The teacher tends to work with Microsoft products. Any hoots I'll keep trying.

Yepp, that's very likely your problem.

There is a reason pages made with MS Frontpage don't display well in non-MS browsers... and it's not generally the other browsers fault.

I'm sure FP 2002 would be a bit better though, but the the real solution would be to use another much better HTML editor (preferbly a plaintexteditor and handcoding should be used, but you might not have the skills/time/interest to learn how to do that right now).

Success!
