Okay it is 1:30AM just got off of work and did some research for you. I did not
test this, but I think this will work!
okay they way to do it is to have two style sheets for css.
Here is a good link on the basics of styles sheets if you do not know about them.
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/style-html.html or
http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/css_tutorial/ okay now you do not have to go all out with it, you just need to include one thing for it, the background property,
here is how you link to the style sheet for printing:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="background.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen">
That code goes in the header of the html document.
Now you will have two files
print.css and
background.css now for the background.css you will need this code in it(Yes just one line unless you want to add other properties into it):
body {background-image: url("../images/TheBackground.gif"); }
now for the print.css, this is what i would do. Pick either solid white gif with a size 1x1 or a transparent gif of 1x1. Very small, takes microseconds to download. Save the same code as above, only changing the name:
body {background-image: url("../images/InVisibelBackground.gif"); }
I think that there might be a problem with N4.75 not recognizing the print, but I think you are only worrying about IE so you are in the clear
I am sure you know this, but if you do not know how to save a .css file, use notepad and save it as .css, that is the easiest way to do it withoutr any trouble.
Hope this does the trick.
