Hi All,

I have a web page (actually it's an email newsletter, but it's just vanilla HTML) which has a colored bar near the top like so:

<TD bgcolor=#336699 colspan="4" align="left">
<FONT color=#ffffff>
<STRONG>
Some text here
</STRONG>
</FONT>
</TD>

The function of this bar is to separate the masthead image from the body of the newsletter.

When I display the HTML in IE it all looks great.

When I print the page, the screen effect created by this colored bar is gone, i.e., the color of the text is changed from white (#ffffff) to black and the bgcolor of the cell is changed from blue (#336699) to white.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and, more importantly, what, if anything I can do about it?

Thanks!

You have to set IE to print backgrounds of tables/cells under Tools | Internet Options | Advanced |
Printing

Hi Michael,

I believe it is your browser settings. For example in IE 6 you would go to
Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | and check the box that says:

"Print background colors and images"
