100% Picture width?

[Guest]

Is there any way to make my Logo across the top of the page big, and then
when it prints, it resizes itself to fit the printed page?

You have already helped me do that to my text with the 100% page width, but
my logos aren't doing the same.

For an example, go to www.baileylove.com

click obituaries, then click on Nelson Lauer, go to his printer friendly
page, and then you'll notice the small logo, but under print preview, it
fills the whole page top.

I'm wanting it to fill the whole top of my browser, not be small like it is.
Thanks in advance!!

Make a larger image. Reference that one in a print media stylesheet.

huh? I'm not sure what a print media style sheet is.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="styles.css">

That's a screen stylesheet (one that will be used by the browser anytime it
is displaying your page on a screen.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="styles.css">

That's a print stylesheet (one that will be used by the browser anytime a
page is being printed).

To see the effect of this, go to my site at http://www.great-web-sights.com,
and do a print preview. Compare what you see on the screen to what you see
in the print preview.

That's what I've been wanting this whole entire time!! Looks like the same
page, but minor modifications, and you don't need to create a second page (to
my knowlege). Right now, I have to create a second "printer-friendly" page
for every page that people might want to print...please help me do the same
thing that you've just done with your web site!!

LOL - it's not so hard.

Here is a good article about how to do this.

It may require you to rethink your page layout methodology, though.

Do you recommend anything on the page layout?

Jeeze, I just downloaded Firefox, and the webdevelopers tool. I'm at a loss
for words. I'm sure I'm making it more difficult than it is, but until I
have someone sitting down with me, I'm not gonna get anywhere fast. You
don't by any chance live near Indiana do you? I could seriously use some
guidance.

Is Philadelphia close enough? 8)

If you are not good with HTML, the first time you look at your pages in
something other than FP is likely to be a shock. The solution is to study
HTML quickly. Forget WYSIWYG for the time being, and become comfortable
with your code. Then study CSS. Soon you will reach enlightenment.... 8)
