I am using a expanding menu based on
http://www.gazingus.org/html/menuExpandable.html
The menu uses <li> for the items. There is a very small amount of
javascript. I would like to have the menu print expanded even though it
is collapsed on the screen.
In addition to the problems and solutions already mentioned, I note that in
three places-- CSS, JS and HTML-- you are setting the background image for
the LI you use; I would question whether that duplication is necessary; I
think its a hangover from your testing. Also, an alternative to using a
background image, is to use "list-style-image", details @
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#propdef-list-style-image. (Which
may not be widely supported by a sufficient number of browsers? Or maybe it
is. See http://nanobox.chipx86.com/browser_support.php)
However, as the image you show for the printed output of FF shows, you are
getting repeated instances of the background image on the printout, because
in your JS (and in the in-line style used in the HTML), you do not restate
what the CSS shows, to wit "no-repeat 0em 0.3em". Also, of course, it is
not necessary to say "0em", as "0" can be unitless in CSS.
