print radio buttons - 3/18/2009 16:42:17
This is a new one on me. I have a form with radio buttons. Some users want to print their completed form prior to hitting the submit button (kill a tree for their own records). The radio buttons are not printing. This is on an intranet with all users forced to use IE7. The buttons DO appear in the print preview. I've got a print.css style sheet and have tried to force input to display (visible, block, inline, etc.) but nothing works. I've Googled this and the issue goes back to IE6 or 2004, depending on the source, but I can't find a work-around. After submit I can call the responses out of the database and into a printable format but some users are trying to print before submit.
Any ideas?
(*more information: all users are on Windows XP machines - some still have IE6 but most have IE7. Switching the IE settings to print background images does nothing to show the radio buttons. There are no printer settings that can be adjusted since there are over 25 networked printers and all of them have been tweaked differently.)

When I switched to fill-able on-line PDF forms it eliminated that radio button not printing problem. Is that possible for you to implement?

Will it allow the data to go to a SQL stored procedure on submit
No. (At least not with the forms I am using) On the web site that uses fill-able pdf forms it is for the convenience of the user only. It is a club re-new form. They can fill the form out on line then print it , enclose their dues and mail it to the club treasurer.
By the way it is a OpenOffice form. I did not use Adobe Acrobat. I believe that Adobe Acrobat forms will submit to a database. You will have to check the Adobe web site for that.

Yes, that item is checked by default on IE. But does it work for printing?

When you disable it - yes.

obvious question, but why are you using background images?
how about using background images in the visual sheet but unhidden normal images floated/inline in the print one?
my js ability is very stilted so sorry if this is a stupid question :)
