I''m working on a new app and i can''t get print.css to work properly. I can''t work out why. I''ve tried referencing it with the rails stylesheet_link_tag helper and by hard-coding the link. Neither work - when i go to print-preview (in firefox) it''s not using the right styling. The file, print.css, is in public/stylesheets. I''ve tried this: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "print", :media => "print" %> which generates: <link href="/stylesheets/print.css?1242817476" media="print" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> and i''ve tried this: <link href="/stylesheets/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" /> which of course just stays as it is. Neither work. is there something special i have to do with print stylesheets in rails? thanks max -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I have <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''print'', :media => :print %> which seems to generate the same link as you have and it works fine in FF 3.0.10 Have you tried temporarily removing your standard stylesheet and replacing it with a renamed version of print.css to make sure it is not a problem with the contents?

Thanks, colin, i figured it out. The problem was that the main
stylesheet, style.css was also being used for printing, so i needed to
change the link for the main stylesheet to have media="screen, print".
So, it was nothing to do with the link to print.css at all.
So, now my links look like this:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "style", "incomplete", :media
=> "screen,
print" %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "print", :media => "print"
%>
and it''s all good.
cheers
max
