Can someone help me figure out what is going on here?
I am going to try to be as clear as possible since I cannot post a URL to
the problem web page.
I have a table which contains 4 rows. The first cell spans all 4 rows and
contains a graphic (not a background). The second column contains
information which is pulled from a database; however, in order to make the
printout harder to duplicate I am trying to place a background image in the
table to work like a watermark. On the screen everything looks great.
However, when I print this page my righthand graphic (which is Adobe
Photoshop show as being 5.5in x 2.0in) prints as a very TINY graphic at the
center point of the far right margin.
The reason I am not using a watermark is because programmatically I may need
to repeat this table up to five times on the page and need to have the
"watermark" on each instance of the table.
Am I attempting the impossible here?
I am using stylesheets. Here are both of them for your reference. Also,
please note that this particular instance does not require this to work in
anything but IE; I am fortunate to creating this for a company intranet that
has 100% standardized software.
<STYLE type="text/css" title="printtype" media="print">
table{
width : 7.0in;
border : medium groove Gray;
background : url(Y:\Images\grandback.gif)
no-repeat scroll right;
}
td {
font : bolder oblique normal larger/normal
Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</STYLE>
<STYLE type="text/css" title="printtype" media="screen">
table{
width : 7.0in;
border : medium groove Gray;
background : url(Y:\Images\grandback.gif)
no-repeat scroll right;
}
td {
font : bolder oblique normal larger/normal
Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</STYLE>
Here is the table:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<td rowspan="4" style="width: 245px; height: 144px;"><IMG
src="/Images/logo.gif" width="245" height="144" alt="">
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;">Grand
Number: 0000</td>
</TR>
<tr><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align:
top;">Name</td></tr>
<tr><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top; font: bolder
normal normal smaller Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;"><strong>Some text here.</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Some more
text here: <br><hr></td></tr>
</TABLE>
Thanks in advance for any help.
