I have a google maps Section on my website for my contact page. In my browser the css for the map is
<div class="googlemap" style="margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px;">
<iframe style="border: 0;" src="map" width="50%" height="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">
</iframe>
</div>
In a smarthphone view i get the half map and aligned in left as shown below.
Google maps on mobile
I want to apply CSS that makes my map responsive on mobile.
I try something like the following but it doesnt work
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.googlemap{
//these are the ideal margins for my mobile view
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: -350px;
}
How to set this properly working?
Note two things that you must account for in restyling your map component:
Inline Styles
Iframe Attributes
The only way to override inline-styles from a stylesheet is to use the important! keyword. Read up on specificity to understand what is going on and some ways to overcome it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
You may also have to use the important! keyword to override the iframe width and height attributes.
I don't know what your expected final design should be, but you could do something like the following:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.googlemap {
margin: 10px !important;
}
.googlemap > iframe {
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
min-height: calc(100vh - 20px);
}
}
<div class="googlemap" style="margin-left: 50px; margin-right: 50px;">
<iframe style="border: 0;background: gray;" src="map" width="50%" height="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
</div>
I'm attempting to make a printable stylesheet for our app but I'm having issues with background-color in #media print.
#media print {
#header{display:none;}
#adwrapper{display:none;}
td {
border-bottom: solid;
border-right: solid;
background-color: #c0c0c0;
}
}
Everything else works, I can modify the borders and such but background-color won't come through in the print. Now I understand that y'all might not be able to answer my question without more details. I was just curious if anyone had this issue, or something similar, before.
To enable background printing in Chrome:
body {
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important;
}
Edit:
For Chrome, Safari and Firefox:
body{
-webkit-print-color-adjust:exact !important;
print-color-adjust:exact !important;
}
IF a user has "Print Background colours and images" turned off in their print settings, no CSS will override that, so always account for that. This is a default setting.
Once that is set so it will print background colours and images, what you have there will work.
It is found in different spots.
In IE9beta it's found in Print->Page Options under Paper options
In FireFox it's in Page Setup -> [Format & Options] Tab under Options.
Got it:
CSS:
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1000px gold;
Works for all boxes - including table cells !!!
(If the PDF-printer output file is to be believed..?)
Only tested in Chrome + Firefox on Ubuntu...
Try this, it worked for me on Google Chrome:
<style media="print" type="text/css">
.page {
background-color: white !important;
}
</style>
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; alone is Not enough
you have to use !important with the attribute
this is printing preview on chrome after I added !important to each background-color and color attrubute in each tag
and this is printing preview on chrome before adding !important
now, to know how to inject !important to div's style, check out this answer I'm unable to inject a style with an “!important” rule
Two solutions that work (on modern Chrome at least - haven't tested beyond):
!important right in the regular css declaration works (not even in the #media print)
Use svg
If you are looking to create "printer friendly" pages, I recommend adding "!important" to your #media print CSS. This encourages most browsers to print your background images, colors, etc.
EXAMPLES:
background:#3F6CAF url('example.png') no-repeat top left !important;
background-color: #3F6CAF !important;
There is another trick you can do without activating the print border option mentioned in other posts. Since borders are printed you can simulate solid background-colors with this hack:
.your-background:before {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: -1;
border-bottom: 1000px solid #eee; /* Make it fit your needs */
}
Activate it by adding the class to your element:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="your-background"> </td>
<td class="your-background"> </td>
<td class="your-background"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Although this needs some extra code and some extra care to make background-colors visible, it is yet the only solution known to me.
Notice this hack won't work on elements other than display: block; or display: table-cell;, so for example <table class="your-background"> and <tr class="your-background"> won't work.
We use this to get background colors in all browsers (still, IE9+ required).
For chrome, I have used something like this and it worked out for me.
Within the body tag,
<body style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;"> </body>
Or for a particular element, let's say if you have table and you want to fill a td i.e a cell,
<table><tr><td style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;"></tr></table>
Despite !important usage being generally frowned upon, this is the offending code in bootstrap.css which prevents table rows from being printed with background-color.
.table td,
.table th {
background-color: #fff !important;
}
Let's assume you are trying to style the following HTML:
<table class="table">
<tr class="highlighted">
<td>Name</td>
<td>School</td>
<td>Height</td>
<td>Weight</td>
</tr>
</table>
To override this CSS, place the following (more specific) rule in your stylesheet:
#media print {
table tr.highlighted > td {
background-color: rgba(247, 202, 24, 0.3) !important;
}
}
This works because the rule is more specific than the bootstrap default.
I just added to the print media query this snippet and all style was applied as intended:
* {
color-adjust: exact!important;
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact!important;
print-color-adjust: exact!important;
}
Found this issue, because I had a similar problem when trying to generate a PDF from a html output in Google Apps Script where background-colors are also not "printed".
The -webkit-print-color-adjust:exact; and !important solutions of course did not work, but the box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1000px gold; did... great hack, thank you very much :)
Thought I'd add a recent and 2015 relevant aid from a recent print css experience.
Was able to print backgrounds and colors regardless of print dialog box settings.
To do this, I had to use a combination of !important & -webkit-print-color-adjust:exact !important to get background and colors to print properly.
Also, when declaring colors, I found the most stubborn areas needed a definition directly to your target. For example:
<div class="foo">
<p class="red">Some text</p>
</div>
And your CSS:
.red {color:red !important}
.foo {color:red !important} /* <-- This won't always paint the p */
Tested and Working over Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge by 2016/10. Should work on any browser and should always look as expected.
Ok, I did a little cross-browser experiment for printing background colors. Just copy, paste & enjoy!

Best "solution" I have found is to provide a prominent "Print" button or link which pops up a small dialogue box explaining boldly, briefly and concisely that they need to adjust printer settings (with an ABC 123 bullet point instruction) to enable background and image printing. This has been very successful for me.
In some cases (blocks without any content, but with background) it can be overridden using borders, individually for every block.
For example:
.colored {
background: #000;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 8px;
height: 8px;
}
#media print {
.colored div {
border: 4px solid #000;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
}
* {
-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;
}

You can use the tag canvas and "draw" the background, which work on IE9, Gecko and Webkit.
If you don't mind using an image instead of a background color(or possibly an image with your background color) the solution below has worked for me in FireFox,Chrome and even IE without any over-rides. Set the image somewhere on the page and hide it until the user prints.
The html on the page with the background image
<img src="someImage.png" class="background-print-img">
The Css
.background-print-img{
display: none;
}
#media print{
.background-print-img{
background:red;
display: block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
z-index:-10;
}
}
Do not set the background-color inside the print stylesheet. Just set the attribute in the normal css file and it works fine :)

In my application, I have a left sidebar which I want to hide when the user prints the page.
I am using the following media query :
#media print {
#left_sidebar, #backend_navbar, #flash-messages, #header_buttons, .object_social, a:after, .hide_on_print {
display: none !important;
}
#page-wrapper {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
}
i am hiding the sidebar, that works, but canceling the left margin on the wrapper does not work.
It works when I display the inspector and activate the emulation for css print with chrome and opera, it does not work if i press ctrl+P.
Do you have an idea of what I could do ?
I assume that the original css rule you have set is "margin-left: 50px" as an example of 50px. Try the same way in your media query like this "margin-left: 0". I think it worked for in the past. Might not be the best solution but it will probably get you going.
CSS
#page-wrapper {
margin-left: 50px; /* as an example */
}
#media print {
#left_sidebar, #backend_navbar, #flash-messages, #header_buttons, .object_social, a:after, .hide_on_print {
display: none !important;
}
#page-wrapper {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
margin-left: 0; /** try without !important, if doesn't work, then add it back.**/
}
I Hope that helps.
I'm trying to build a responsive HTML email. I'm attempting to do something fairly simple but getting stuck and am starting to be convinced that I may need to approach it in a different way.
I want to show certain content if the user is on a mobile device, and hide it otherwise.
My first attempt looked like:
The CSS in the head:
#media (max-width: 420px) and (min-width: 100px) {
.mobile {
display:block !important;
}
}
The HTML:
<div class='mobile' style='display:none;'>
I'm only visible on mobile :)
</div>
This works beautifully for most mail clients but not with Gmail which does not support 'display:none' without an '!important'. But, adding the !important to the inline styles means that it will not display for mobile.
I've tried a few different things including messing with visibility/opacity (figured that would be a start in the right direction, but that didn't work at all) and trying to sneak around inline styles by attempting:
The CSS in the head:
.mobile {
display: none !important;
}
#media (max-width: 420px) and (min-width: 100px) {
#fix .mobile {
display:block !important;
}
}
The HTML:
<div id='fix'>
<div class='mobile' style='display:none;'>
I'm only visible on mobile :)
</div>
</div>
But that didn't work either. Seems like it would be a pretty common problem.
Any ideas how to get around this?
Ah the beauty of software development: we get to just keep trying until things work! Found a fix. It seems like there is more than one way to get around Gmail's display: none (!important on the inline style is not the only way). Here's what worked for me:
The CSS in the head:
.mobile {
display: none;
font-size: 0;
max-height: 0;
line-height: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#media (max-width: 420px) and (min-width: 100px) {
.mobile {
display:block !important;
line-height: 1.5 !important;
max-height: none !important;
}
}
The HTML:
<div class='mobile' style='display:none;font-size: 0; max-height: 0; line-height: 0; padding: 0;'>
I'm only visible on mobile :)
</div>
How about using:
<div class="mobile" style="width:0; overflow:hidden;float:left; display:none"></div>
