Web Design Tips

Don't Print Margins

When you print an article from my site, you may notice that the margins, as well as the images at the top of the page don't print. These sections (div) aren't printed because I use an extra CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) for when the reader prints. That print style sheet has display: none; for sections that I don't want to print:

#left_margin, #right_margin {
   display: none;
}

To get the web browser to use this style sheet, I add an extra HTML tag to articles:

<link rel='stylesheet' 
   type='text/css' 
   href='print_article.css' 
   media='print'/>

This goes near the top of the page, either within the <head> tags, or just after the openning <body> tag. Notice that the media type is set to print. This tells the browser to use this page only when printing.
