Default Print at bottom of last page? - 09-22-2003 , 08:02 AM






On every page I have a <p ID="URhere"> that appears only when you
print. (It's "display:none" in the general style sheet.) It would be
nice if I could suggest that the browser print it at the bottom of
the last page,(*) rather than immediately after the last text.
Example:
http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm

I read the text on "paged media" <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
CSS2/page.html> and I don't see any way to specify this. Am I
missing something?


(*) By "at the bottom" I mean at the bottom of the normal printable
area. I'm not trying to monkey with the page margins imposed by the
browser and the user's printer.

You can use the CSS3 'float: bottom' declaration, then wait for clients to
implement the CSS3 Paged Media module.

7.2. Top and bottom page floats
