I have a web application that displays a grid and a chart with legend. The application has the ability to print just the summary chart or the chart with the grid data. The grid data is then parsed into a nice printable format for html instead of the table it is in.
When attempting to print this I get flawless results in chrome of course. But IE11 cuts things off at the bottom of every page. It is almost like it is trying to cut off text. About 2-3 lines of text will be cut off for no apparent reason. The amount cutoff seems to depend on where it is within a div. For example if it cuts off in a title it would just be the one line. If it cuts off in the middle of the inner box then it will cut off everything to the end of that box and move to the next section on the next page.
IE11:
Chrome:
Things I have already tried:
Removed all floating for display inline-block
Made sure overlow was always visible
changing margins in print preview of IE11
Removed all styles entirely and there was still cutoff from text.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So it took me several days and slowly stripping out everything. It appears that I had one element somewhere up the chain not even in the html being presented that was position:absolute. I just added:
#media print{
*{
float:none!important;
position:static!important;
}
}
and everything worked.
Floats and position absolute apparently ruin print in IE. I recommend never using position absolute for page layout.

I have a hyperlink in the figure caption on my project and the link only appears to work when in mobile view / or small screen where the columns collapse. For some reason, this issue isn't replicated on JFiddle but it is when I test on a variety of browsers and devices.
I discovered that with my old code, the paragraph's area was overlapping the hyperlink's hoverable clicking space, and making it impossible to click until the image would stack above on smaller screen/mobile in the old code.
**Old HTML** JFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/LybeppL3/7/
**So I tired a workaround**: see Current Code: https://jsfiddle.net/5c2sm9s1/1/
OR # PreemPrice.com
Specifically, I am trying now to break up a column for the picture on the right, the paragraphs of text to it's left, and when on mobile, that the picture stacks above the paragraphs of text and is centered.
However, my workaround does not look as nice/ not as responsive on mobile as my old code.
Specifically, I miss how in the "old" code, see JFiddle, it is really responsive in that the image keeps the same size, and once it's too big, it collapses over the text. In my current work-around, the photo shrinks uglily, and then stacks below instead of above the paragraphs.
Also, I miss how the image is fully centered at the top in mobile device in the old code.
I would appreciate help in getting this to work properly! Thanks!
I've got to produce a print out of our records as per Creative's requirements. The layout is fairly simple, but it still makes use of the occasional highlight box and hairline ruler to divide up sections.
We have to support IE8, but for now, I'm developing in FF.
I currently have to go into Print Preview to examine my changes. It is a real pain to Close Preview, refresh the page with F5, then Alt-F+v to re-Preview every time I make the smallest change. Any way I can set my system up to view my changes more conveniently? I've got ReCSS, which is cool, but it does not work in Preview mode.
The only borders that seem to be supported are those around tables. So anywhere I need some element boxed, I end up wrapping it in <table><tr><td></td></tr></table> just to take advantage of the table border, which seems to be non-optional. Is there a more efficient way?
I need to divide content sections with horizontal rules (ideally several pixels thick, dashed or dotted). I have found no way to make a horizontal rule at all. I've tried styling my divs with border-bottom, which of course doesn't work. I've tried wrapping them in tables, then turning off the top left and right borders, which also doesn't work. I've tried <hr>, which also doesn't work. Ideas?
I hate to have to tell my Creative that they get text-with-a-side-of-text.
I've created a webpage that has several divs containing text. The right hand side of the page contains one large div made up of several paragraphs using the p tags. At the bottom of this large div after the closing p tag i have left some space so that the writing does not go right to the bottom of the webpage.
This space varies between browsers. It seems to display exactly how it shows in Dreamweaver in IE9 and Safari but when previewing in Firefox it seems to cut off some of the text at the bottom. This can be fixed by increasing the height of that div but then this also increases the space more in Safari and IE.
I've come to the conclusion that the spacing between each paragraph down the page is larger in Firefox than IE9 or Safari for some reason which is why the last bit of text is getting cut off in Firefox.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Here is link to my webpage: See the difference in the paragraph spacing in firefox compared to IE/Safari, most noticable at the bottom as it cuts off the writing:

Do you tried to set a fixed margin-bottom to your -Element... Maybe that is a solution for your issue.
Thanks Eray the reset.css file worked a treat. Thanks for everyones help and advice.I wasnt sure how to accept your's as the accepted answer as you posted it as a comment rather than an answer.
I added a custom control to a .NET page which allows user to upload a picture.
This control has a div element which parents an image that is supposed to get printed. The control is positioned near the bottom of the HTML structure and therefore the image gets printed on page two.
However the problem is that I want the picture to get printed on page one but no matter what I try the picture never gets there. I've tried absolute positioning and floating.
Now what to do, what to do? :)
Update:
The HTML page includes many forms and stuff so it's difficult to give code examples but here's what it basically looks like:
<div class="col">Bunch of stuff</div> // Left column
<div class="col">Bunch of stuff + the image control</div> // Right column
When print; the columns are stacked upon each other by using float, but I want the image element to be positioned on top of page one.
Since I couldn't figure out a solution for this problem, I ended up with restructuring the HTML so that the "image control" was at the top. Then I was able to position the control at the top of the printed page.
My page, it keeps on getting different menu width when i zoom in and out. It is fine in IE, and no one else. I did not spot any fixed positioning, this seems to be using relative position.
have tried playing and disabling all CSS property to my menu bar through google chrome inspect element.
turn this from none to auto: " -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto "
Tried to use em ex px for my font-szie and padding. I am juiced out of ideas, save me internet!!!

Try zooming out, you will find press room gets pushed down. I got this SimplyBiz theme from wpcrunchy. It seems even the paid version have this problem too. The CSS and html is way too large to post, too much bloated codes, i think is sufficient to just use chrome inspect element.
I took a look at the site, and my opinion is that the css and js that make up the menu functionality are creating a 6th menu element. That would explain why an extra little tab is hanging off the end there. Since it doesn't have any content, the browsers are all handling the whitespace a little differently.
Did you by any chance modify the menu to take it from 6 elements to 5?
