cmccully Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi, I have a page with gif images that have a transparent background. This page displays correctly with both Firefox and IE. However, when I print this page to paper Firefox ignores the transparency in the gifs.Anyone run accross this?The page will display and print properly in Firefox if I use png images instead. However, IE will not dispaly them. I could have 2 different versions of the page and display according to the browser used but I am hopeing for an easyer solution.cmccully Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32937-printing-transparent-gif-in-firefox/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 IE 7 has better png support...could you post a screen shot fo the site and describe how it differs in print? i.e. if print is ignoring the transparnecy what color is it printing?

ToonMariner Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 normally browsers will ignore background images when printing.Although I notice you use a white image as a backgound - why?you have this image that is the size of the page - you don't need it - it doesn't make the div it is the backgorund maintain a size - backgounds just fill the space available if the image is bigger than teh div it just cuts off.img00003 and img00004 are the same - delete 00004 and just use 00003 twice.Printing from a browser is different for most pages. normally floated elements are ignored completely. Not sure about absolute positioning and what it deos with them.I personally would look into to creating a pdf on the - it looks liek you are producing a certificate - creating a pdf will ensure no matter what browser they use tehy will all get the same result. - and they can save the to their own pc if they like.
