I have a simple HTML page and on that, I have
body, html {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#media print {
#page {
size: letter portrait;
padding-left: 5in;
padding-right: 0.25in;
padding-top: 1in;
}
}
However, when I print preview in Chrome, it appears completely unaffected. What do I have to do to get Chrome to recognize the #page and the media query?
I don't think you need the media query because #page is only for print.
Also, according to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/#page
You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of
the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be
ignored.
Maybe using margins instead of padding would work.

I'm using Pagedown to generate a one-page html document that I can easily print to PDF with formatting (starting from html_paged default pagedown format).
I want to adjust the margin of my documents so that I use the full page space, especially at the top of the page, but I cannot seem to alter the margins. For example, there is always a (large) top margin above the first header of my document resulting in a blank space in my final document.
I'm using customized CSS style sheet to style my document. Setting the margins to 0 in this sheet doesnt reduce the margin in my final output, though the rest of the styling works fine. The page space remains limited.
I tried using:
* {
margin:0;
padding:2;
}
or
header{
margin-top: 0;
}
or resetting the margins of basically every element I could think of.
But nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
You need to adjust the page margins via the margin-box properties.
See here for details on adjusting the margins: https://pagedjs.org/documentation/5-web-design-for-print/#margin-size-property
Starting from the default css pagedown files, if you were adjusting the first page then you’d want to adjust the margins in this part of the default-page.css file:
page :first {
#top-left {
content: none;
}
#top-right {
content: none;
}
#bottom-right {
content: none !important;
}
background-image: var(--front-cover);
background-position: center;
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Here’s an example of custom page margins:
#page {
margin-top: 20mm;
margin-bottom: 25mm;
margin-left: 10mm;
margin-right: 35mm;
}
First of all, I do search and research and try this about a week and has no clue.. so I thought I have earned my right asking somewhat simple, haha!
For some reason, it looks like, width: 210mm; doesn't work as I want. Following screenshot rendered as print mode with F12 tool on chrome.
This is css..
#media screen {
body {
background-color: #eeeeee;
counter-reset: page-number;
}
}
#media print {
#page {
size: A4 portrait;
margin: 0mm;
}
html, body, .page-frame { max-width: 210mm; }
.page-frame {
margin: 0;
}
}
.page-frame
{
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
page-break-after: always;
background-color: white;
width: 210mm;
height: 297mm;
padding: 30mm 20mm 20mm 20mm;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 5mm;
column-rule-width: 2px;
column-rule-color: var(--secondary);
column-rule-style: solid;
counter-increment: page-number;
margin-top: 1em;
}
/* page layouts */
.page-header { position: relative; column-span: all; margin-top: -17mm; margin-bottom: 2mm; height: 15mm; border-bottom: 2px solid var(--secondary); }
.page-footer { position: relative; column-span: all; height: 10mm; padding-top: 2mm; border-top: 2px solid var(--secondary); text-align: center; margin-top: 2mm; }
.page-header > div, .page-footer > div { position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
.page-footer .page-number:before { content: counter(page-number); }
.column-frame { height: 100%; width: 100%; }
In other attempts, including uploaded image, the grey area (body element) remains and surround expecting-paper area and I cannot get rid of this surrounding grey area.
Also, .paper-frame div itself looks smaller than actual a4 size.. and I cannot understand whats happening at this point.
All I want is the .page-frame element properly rendered as A4 size on both screen and print.. and it's hard!
I'm using bootstrap 4 on laravel 7.x and latest version of Chrome browser..
Edit 1 --- Chrome Issue #273306 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=273306
Could it be that problem is the same issue in above link? .. maybe?? or not?.. still I cannot solve this. In my previous work, I used https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/paper-css/0.3.0/paper.css for A4 rendering and it works, but I cannot find whats crucially different so cause the problem.
I've worked with chromes print function in the past and the best way i found to fix these kinds of rendering problems was to brute force it.
Basically change the .page-frame size until it fits.
Although I have to say that your problem seems weird to me since if I remember correctly then the pixel sizes of your .page-frame are inline with what I used.
From the information I can gather from the picture, chrome might be including the margins of .page-frame in to the render. So zero them out forcefully in css.
You could also try to set the "scale" in print options higher to see if that fixes the problem.
For the start, I'd like to introduce might be a rookie problem that there is !important value inside bootstrap.print module.
When you print out, browser using #media print script, yes?
Since I use laravel, hence using webpack, so I generate app.css file that include bootstrap.
During that phase, there are two variables named $print-page-size and $print-body-min-width at the end of node_modules\bootstrap\scss\_variables.css
/* ..(inside node_modules >> bootstrap folder)/_variables.css */
..
// Printing
$print-page-size: a3 !default;
$print-body-min-width: map-get($grid-breakpoints, "lg") !default;
This cause the problem. It's not a bug or any. Well, if you compare the size of actual a4 paper and rendered paper on screen, there might be some difference between those two but it's not a problem. Size is different but result is resemblance.
When you look inside of resource\sass\app.scss file, bootstrap imported after custom scss files like custom or variables.
You can specifiy $print-page-size and $print-body-min-width parameter before importing default bootstrap _print module. When you do that, specified parameter overwrite those value so problem solved. I just set those two value like below.
/* resources/sass/_variables.scss file */
// print
$print-page-size: a4;
$print-body-min-width: auto;
..hey. I sovled!
Hi I'm still new to web development. So I have a register page that floats as a div above the main page but I was wondering how do I ensure that the div gets centered in a responsive manner?
The pages are separated and included at the header.
<?php
include ('includes/login.php');
include ('includes/register.php');
?>
my register's css
#regScreen {
padding: 5 5 40px 5px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: fixed;
top: 5%;
left: 33%;
z-index: 10;
display: none;
background: #ebebeb;
}
#regScreen:target, #regScreen:target+#cover {
display: block;
opacity: 2;
}
#reghead {
background-color: #e2e1e1;
text-align: center;
display: block;
padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
}
I tried to use media query on my #regscreen:
#media (max-width: 300px) {
#regScreen {width: 100%;
left:0%;
}
}
But using media queries doesn't seems to recognize the page as responsive as it is already small. From my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's difficult to provide an exact answer without more infomation (it would be great if you added more of the HTML markup), however...
If the issue is that the floating div does not resize to fit various screen sizes (and since you're new to web development...welcome aboard!), there are a couple of suggestions I can make:
1) You may be overcomplicating it by trying to apply the #media (max-width:300px) media query. By simply adding the following styles, the registration form should resize accurately:
#regScreen {
/* The rest of your styles go here */
width:90%;
max-width:600px; /* em or rem value would be better than px... e.g. 37.5 em */
}
This would ensure that the width of the form is always either 90% of the screen width OR 600px, whichever is smaller.
2) If you think there may be an issue with the media query not trigerring, an easy way to test it is to make something really obvious happen at that breakpoint...for example:
#media (max-width: 300px) {
/* Test Style */
/* Turn background red when below 300px */
body{
background-color:red !important;
}
/* Your original styles */
#regScreen {
width: 100%;
left:0%;
}
}
By doing this, it should allow you to start troubleshooting whether it's your media query syntax or something else that is the issue; maybe the media query styles are being correctly applied (so your media query syntax is ok) but the new styles are being overwritten later in the CSS (or due to the specificity of certain rules).
If you add more info to your question, let me know and I'll take another look but until then, this should hopefully help get you on the right track.
I'm not sure about what is the element using those selectors, but I tried to make a sample html & css reference for solving your issue. Here is the link jsfiddle.net/3Le34w8p/
i already see one error just by looking
#media and (max-width: 300px) {
#regScreen {
width: 100%;
left:0%;
}
}
you for got 'and' before '(max-width: 300px)'
I have tried for over 3 weeks now with different implementations trying to get the right section to not display, and have the left section display at full width. Given that my research shows there is no easy or streamlined way to quickly render Print views without reviewing the print preview, I am asking for some help to figure this out.
the print media css that is not working is this:
#gc {
width: 100%;
}
#asideTrack {
/* width: 100%;*/
display: none;
}
.asideTrack {
/* width: 100%;*/
display: none;
}
.slideAside {
/* width: 100%;*/
display: none;
}
#slideAside {
display:none
}
Any suggestions?
In CSS lower rule overwrites the top if they have the same priority (depending on selector)
You write your common css not in #media block, and it is lower then your #media print block, so it overwrites your #media print styles. For example, it is cause why in print preview your left block has width 74% (because this rule is lower then rule of #media print block where you say it is 100%).
I hope it is helpful.
Solutions
In your css file you may place media print block to the end of file.
Add !important directives to some rules in media print block. ie:
p {
color: red !important;
}
Place your special css for screen in media screen block.
I searched a lot before asking here, but didn't find an answer for my question.
I want to insert top and bottom margin for my website page when printed, so I used the normal margin-top and margin-bottom for the printed div but it affected on the first sheet only! so I used this as explained in W3C CSS2.1 Specifiction:
#page {
margin-top: 5cm;
margin-bottom: 5cm;
}
but no effect in Firefox Print Preview or Print to PDF. so how can I insert top and bottom margin (for each printed sheet) via CSS? or is there any trick to do this in Firefox?
Both
#page {
margin-top: 5cm;
margin-bottom: 5cm;
}
and
#media print {
body {margin-top: 50mm; margin-bottom: 50mm;
margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm}
}
work fine in Firefox 35
This should work even in firefox
#media print {
#main{margin:100px 0;}
}
The "#media print" will make sure the style is only used when printing.
