Re: CSS: @media print attributes

[onelesd]

Since this is a perl website, I recommend you write some perl to make a printable version of the page and be done with it: http://domain.tld/page?print=1

use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI ':standard';
use HTML::Barcode::Code93;

my ($cgi,$code,$media);
$media =<<END;
@media print {
BODY {background-color: inherit !important;background-image: inherit !
+important;}
}
END

    $cgi = new CGI;
    print     $cgi->header();
    print $media;
    $code = HTML::Barcode::Code93->new(text => 'code');
    print $code->render;

1;

it still is a perl output..

But it has nothing to do with perl :)

Its not interpreted by perl

Its not validated by perl

Its not displayed by perl

Its a browser that refuses to print the background colors because that is a feature of the browser

Its a browser user feature

You can't circumvent this browser feature

If a browser allowed random websites/htmlfiles to circumvent user features, it wouldn't be a very secure browser

Think about it

When users want to print pictures, browsers are pretty smart in actually printing pictures, maybe you want to give users a real picture (png/gif)

i never conversed the argue ?! ;-) you can circumvent this with perl substitution of the pref.js temporarily during the label printing runtime. or laying down a ff profile and then invoke it with perl if you want to print a html bg. the postscript option is still the best way to go. security is not so much important because it´s for a local repository workspace in a locked environment. you´r right. it has no bearing on perl.
