Default Selectable print media stylesheets - possible? - 04-26-2006 , 05:35 AM






I want to present users with a choice of mono, text only print or
colour including images.

Can I somehow offer on the web-page the ability for the user to select
the print style sheet?

Search around on Eric Meyer's site. He has some JavaScript that does
this.

Add a TITLE attribute to <LINK REL=StyleSheet>.
In Mozilla, choose the menu "View > Use Style > ...".

Add a TITLE attribute to <LINK REL=StyleSheet>.
In Mozilla, choose the menu "View > Use Style > ...".

Surely that only works for style sheets intended for @media screen?

I guess I could do something dirty like setting the print style sheet
as an alternative screen sheet, the user then selects that and
displays it on screen then uses the print button.

(Also I hear there are STILL some folk using an inferior browser
without the benefit of a "View > Use Style > ..." menu item.)

(I had a look around on Eric Meyer's site but couldn't find JavaScript
that allows user to select which "@media print" to use. )
