I'm having trouble with a print in html, because my background color web-site is black and when window.print() is activated i need the background color switched to white.
How can I do this? considering Time X Work.
I´ve tried to change Css, transform to PDF and others.
I can´t use PHP.
You should be able to do this in a stylesheet with an #media print directive.
You can configure a separate stylesheet for printing. Take a look online at print stylesheets.
E.g. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/
The key part being
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
You can then add this in the print.css stylesheet
body {
background: white;
}
to get rid of the background

I have a custom CSS I use with bootstrap. All along I've had my CSS written first before bootstrap then I realised that you're supposed to have Bootstrap first before CSS. Now I'm having problems with my rendering, for example font sizes and colours, particularly with Bootstrap's class=sidenav which I have customised in my CSS file.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/template/style.css">
bootstrap CSS
For the above, my webpage loads as I want it to (so far). My hover codes in my CSS work properly. But when I try to customise other things, they don't work.
bootstrap CSS
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/template/style.css">
For the above, my webpage loads with my styling except the font size is different but the colours for sidenav are the same as the first scenario. (ie. According to my custom CSS file) My hover codes in my CSS works properly.
However if I try a different (the correct) href for example <link rel="stylesheet" href="/website/template/style.css"> the colours for my sidenav disappear but the font size goes according to my CSS. My hover codes in my CSS don't work properly.
What is going on?
I think something like this is your issue.
Given this order:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles1.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles2.css" />
# style1.css
.my-class .very-specific .class-selector { color: red; }
# style2.css
.my-class .class-selector { color: blue; }
The color will be outputted as red, because the first CSS file was more specific.
Looking at the path of your href=, I think its not able to render in html because its incorrect.
If you are pointing to the same directory where your index.html file is, you should not need to add the / in front of template.
Try using:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./template/styles.css">
The ./ points to the current directory. Or you can try
<link rel="stylesheet" href="template/styles.css">
I have a bootstrap4 project where the user needs to be able to print the page. I have a print.css file that I have a few obnoxious styles it just to see if the styles are taking effect and they are not.
My styles are
#media print {
body{background-color:green;}
p{color:red;}
}
Could there be something with bootstrap preventing the styles? The print is not even taking on bootstrap styles.
My link looks like this
<link href="css/print.css" rel="stylesheet" media="print">
I have also tried changing the media type to all and that was a fail as well.
This is not about the background color. I have many display:none;'s in there as well that are not being read either. I only used the background color as a test and example.
I may be wrong but give it a shot,
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print">
I believe you're actually missing the Type and with my understanding it's not needed but may be for a print doc.
Let me know how it works or if it does, make sure this is at the top of the list of Links just to clarify that's not the problem too.
Just read a comment on your question and I believe they're right about bootstrap having it's own print stylesheet but I'm sure it can be overwritten. If not don't worry too much about it. I've just finished developing a site and as long as your code is correct and layed out right it should sort itself out, or atleast mine did :'D
You could try adding it to your main stylesheet with an #media and see if that works
#media print {
/*styles here*/
}
My assignment was to make a website using Dreamweaver with three pages: leftnav.html, rightnav.html, and colorchange.html. The base is leftnav with a left orientated navigation bar, rightnav is the same except the nav is on the right, and colorchange is the same except that the header and footer image is different.
I styled each page with a .css stylesheet and embedded styles. All of those style rules were applied across the board to each .html and are functioning well when I open them on Dreamweaver CC or github. However, my embedded styles are not working when I upload them to my university's server using WinSCP. I've used WinSCP for the duration of this class and haven't had any issues before.
All the files are up to date and are equivalent to the files in Dreamweaver and on Github, so the code itself shouldn't be a problem. Just in case, here are the embedded style rules from changecolor.html:
<head>
...
...
<link href="project7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
#banner, #footer {
background-image: url(beigebg.jpg);
}
#content {
border-left: 250px solid #F0E1BA;
}
</style>
</head>
If anyone could give me something to try, or if you need more info to get an idea of what's going on, please let me know. Thanks!
The beige is actually coming from "colorchange.html" as seen in the style sidebar
If you want the green color, you can either increase specificity, use background-image: url(...) !important or figure out how that additional colorchange.html is being included
If you want the beige color, you can add the style to project7.css or figure out how to include colorchange.html
I am having an issue as I cannot override the styles of the elements on my website with my custom stylesheet. The issue is because of the foundation.css file as well as the normalize.css possibly. For some odd reason though the styles do override while being in a mobile resolution which has me completely lost. For example in my custom stylesheet (app.css) I have the following line:
li a {background-color: orange;}
Just for testing measures obviously. As the code above is shown you should be able to tell that any list with a link should have an orange background color. When viewing the website in my native resolution (1920px x 1080px) none of them are shown with an orange background. You can view an image of what I have explained.
As you can see the blue button shown with "Right Button Active" inside of it is the default color that the foundation.css stylesheet makes it. Now when I change my Google Chrome window to a thin window and take a look at the "Right Button Active" button it actually turns the button orange as you can see at the following picture.
I have looked at the other question mentioned on stack overflow: How do I get my #import stylesheet to override the main stylesheet?
and tried to follow that solution but that didn't work for me in solving my issue. What makes me confused about my situation is the fact that my stylesheet will work on the mobile dimesion window but when I am in my native resolution and have the window showing on fullscreen it does not show up as I have it styled in my custom stylesheet.
Here is my head.php file to show you how my stylesheets are sorted and / or arranged:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Foundation example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="foundation/css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="foundation/css/foundation.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/app.css">
<script src="foundation/js/vendor/modernizr.js"></script>
</head>
<?php
include 'header.php';
?>
Any ideas?
The Proper Selector
You need more specific selector to make it work like you need.
The better way is to set up variables in Foundation's settings.scss file. However, SCSS compilation is needed in this case and if you don't want to do it (or if you simply can't) these lines will be enough:
.top-bar-section li.active:not(.has-form) a:not(.button) {
background-color: #FFA500; /* orange color */
}
.top-bar-section li.active:not(.has-form) a:hover:not(.button) {
background-color: #F09600; /* darker orange, lightness -6% is Foundation's default */
}
Note: You don't need using !important if you include app.css style file after the Foundation's one. It is better to avoid of usage of this keyword.
CodePen working example
Note: If you don't use the proper selector then you take a risk than some other stuff change their color too which shouldn't be the correct behaviour. However, if you want to change blue color to the orange one in general you should use SCSS distribution of Foundation, change $primary-color variable and then compile your own CSS.
How To Find Proper Selector
You need some web development tool, e.g. Firebug, which is abailable for all modern browsers. Then use it as is described below:
Select inspect element tool.
Click on the element which you want to inspect.
Search for the attribute which you want to change - in your case, you are looking for attribute background-color. Then you can see the selector and you are also able to redefine color in the Firebug tool in place to see results immediately.
If your foundation.css has more specific rules to what you are trying to change, they could override your code done in app.css. One way to try this is to put the !important at the end of your CSS-statement, before the ; of the row.
In a case if that changes something, you should inspect your website via your browser's inspector in order to figure how it is being styled and what overrides what.
Please refer to this question for more information about load order and rule priorities.
You have set the orange colour here in app.css
ul.dropdown>li>a{background-color: orange !important;}
This is only pointing to the drop down list for styling, not the button you hover/click to get there. Add this to your app.css style sheet and I am confident it will fix it.
ul .has-dropdown a:hover {
background-color: orange;
}
I have an application that prints html files, the quailty looks good when printed from IE. However I've noticed when printing from FireFox the checkbox's look very light. It's almost difficult to tell if the box is checked or not. Is there a easy way to darken these checkboxes
As it's Firefox you are talking about, you probably could define a special print stylesheet like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" />
And inside you could do:
input[type=checkbox] { background: #000000; }
However: Most browsers are configured to ignore background colors when printing. In addition to that form element rendering is usually up to the browser and by definition you can't really influence checkboxes.
Maybe you can find something useful in the related questions. For example here: How to change checkbox's border style in CSS?
