RE: [WSG] Print style sheet [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
You seem to be on the right track, Oliver.
Matthew's response regarding targeting media types is also helpful. One of the
implementations I've used before is described below.
Note that:
- The print-only version of the logo is the near-last element in the page. I
assume that someone will read all (or most) of the document before printing,
giving the browser time to download the print-only [hidden] inline image.
- Both images are requested at page load, not at page print
- Background image printing is unlikely to be enabled by default on a user's
browser, hence the use of inline images
- When printing, the screen version of the logo is entirely hidden, and the
print logo is positioned absolutely on the top left of the page.
- ContentWrapper is given a top margin related to the height of the printable
logo (preventing nasty overlaps)
- Both images are downloaded in the same page request.
- I do not regard this as a duplication of content - a print-optimised version
of a logo may have very different requirements from a screen-optimised version
of a logo.
- Similar approaches should work for other @media types
- CSS-less browsers will expose both versions of the logo - one at the top of
the page, one at the bottom (not a deal breaker, IMO).
Markup:
==
html
head
...
link type=text/css rel=stylesheet media=print href=print.css/
link type=text/css rel=stylesheet media=screen href=screen.css/
/head
...
img id=headerLogo ... /
div id=contentWrapper
...
/div
...
img id=printLogo height=80px width=120px .../
...
/body
/html
print.css
==
...
#printLogo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
#headerLogo {
display: none;
}
screen.css
==
...
#printLogo {
display:none;
}
#contentWrapper {
margin-top: 80px;
}
Good luck!

I have been asked to place a different header image in my HTML templates
specifically for print (only shows when printed and replaces usual header).
I would like to know if this is deemed acceptable use of CSSAND if a
hard-coded image has to be downloaded on page load or page print??
eg.
div id=print-header style=display:none;
img src=img/elements/print-header.jpg alt=blah blah width=600
height=254 /
/div
div id=header
img src=img/elements/normal-header.jpg alt=blah blah width=800
height=300 /
/div
!-- PRINT STYLESHEET --
.print-header {display:block!important}
This duplication of content is unnecessary and would be rather
difficult to maintain in the long term.
.The issue has been dealt with in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html..
Use one element id in a document for one element e.g.
div id=header
and then define it differently for different media as per examples in
that link.n
@media print {
#header { font-size: 10pt }
}
@media screen {
#header { font-size: 13px }
}
@media screen, print {
#header { line-height: 1.2 }
}
This method achieves independence of data (web page content) from
design/style (whether it is screen, print or other media type).

[WSG] Blog Launch: AGIMO Web Publishing Guide Review [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
(Posted on behalf of the AGIMO Web Publishing Guide Team) == As part of the ongoing review of the Australian Government Web Publishing Guide, the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) has recently launched their first externally-facing blog at: http://wpgblog.agimo.gov.au The Web Publishing Guide Blog has a few purposes: 1. The blog will be used to consult with users of the Web Publishing Guide and understand their needs. This will be useful input as we review and update the Guide. 2. The blog will provide a practical example of an operating government blog, with working approaches for managing moderation, terms of use and other issues. We hope this will be useful for agencies that are considering using blogs to support their own work. 3. The blog will open up the redevelopment of the Web Publishing Guide, and allow people to read and comment on the range of website design and maintenance issues that we will consider as we review and update the Guide. This might include topics like accessibility, content management, governance or usability. The project blog will operate for at least as long as the project to review and redevelop the Web Publishing Guide. The review team expects to be posting approximately once a week during development, and, where necessary, will respond to comments during business hours as soon as they are able. Expect more posts to appear on a regular basis over the next couple of months - to stay informed on updates, subscribe to the blog's RSS feed at http://wpgblog.agimo.gov.au/feed/ . We hope to hear from you via our comments section soon.
