Print Landscape

[bazjones]

I am using css in my website but have only recently started using them, i have one set up for media="screen" and another for media="print". When the page prints at the moment it prints in portrait is there a way whcih i can get it to auto print in landscape as it is a table holding alot of data??

Thanks

Baz

At w3.org (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html) in section 13.2.2 you will find something similar to this:

@page {
size: landscape;
}

Note, I've never personally used a stylesheet specific for printing, but have been researching it recently.

AFAIK at this time the selection of print orientation is done by the user and although you can "suggest" an orientation in the styles, it's very unlikely that a current browser will act on it.

Print orientation was available for Opera and Mozilla however it was decided the user should have ultimate control. Very few pages are printed although I did go to the bother of creating a simple one specific for printed media here: http://www.xhtmlcoder.com/worthvalley/ although I never got around to polishing it fully though.
