aeroswat Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have a sheet of paper that is divided into 3 sections. I want to make a css controlled div for each of these 3 sections. My problem is that I have a dynamically generated report (with php/mysql) of orders that I want to create a div to hold each one. Each of these divs must handle exactly 1/3 of each of these pages in order to print properly. What do I have to set in my div class in order to do this? Each of these divs that is taking up 1/3 of a print page is a container for many more divs of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddski Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The problem with printing is a pixel is completely irrelevant when a piece of paper is concerned.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswat Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 By the way this is what I have so far... I just need the outer container for these div1/2/3/4order all go in the others and the others go in outorder. I should have 3 outorders fit into one div class that fills a whole print page. Aren't there other measurements other than pixels that might be of use here? I'm trying to search for a place to but no avail so far. Can I use 11in as a value for the height property on my outside container? .outorder{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px auto; height: 33%; width: 100%; } .toporder{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px auto; height: 7%; width: 100%; } .midorder{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px auto; height: 40%; width: 100%; } .mainorder{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px auto; height: 33%; width: 100%; } .bottomorder{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px auto; height: 20%; width: 100%; } .div1order{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 60%; left: 3%; background-color: #f4f4f4 } .div2order{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 40%; left: 101%; background-color: #e6e6e6 } .div3order{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 50%; left: 3%; background-color: #f4f4f4 } .div4order{ position: relative; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 50%; left: 101%; background-color: #e6e6e6 } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
