Descendant elements do not generate any boxes either; this behavior *cannot* be overridden by setting the 'display' property on the descendants. i don't know how this would look in real life use but i suggest violating the specs is bad. regards, Michael -- niij http://niij.org/ * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *
Re: [WSG] Print Media
Taco,
If you set the page up with content inside containers, you can do exactly as
you suggest, and hide entire containers including all of their content. For
example, rather than hide all the elements within a left nav, you could
simple do:
#leftnav { display: none;}
If you page is housed in a series of containers, you could quickly hide
entire sections with a few simple rules.

I understood that, but I was more after something where I did not have to
specify every element, with a lot of elements it becomes a bit tedious to
include all of them, it would be nicer to say, hide all only display ID X.
I guess thats not possible then..

Yep, just set all containers or elements that you don¹t need to
display: none; on the print CSS only.
You can take virtually everything off the page except the
forms, if you want...
