[IUG] solution for RE: Printing in IE with WebPac Pro

["Yu, Fei" <yufei at einetwork dot net>]

Here is how I solved the printing problem in IE by following the
instruction from an III trainer. She instructed me to edit
"INSERTTAG_INHEAD wwwoption" and then this problem went away. In
addition, I got rid of the top and bottom logos in the print version.
Please see the following details. 

First of all, here was the problem I initially reported: In both IE and
Firefox, after you get a bib record and click Print Version, the system
will return you with an HTML page of a full bib record along with the
item location. However, the difference appears when you click Print
Preview in the browser's File (That's what most people do when they try
to print): In Firefox, the print version is the full bib record as shown
on the screen; In IE, the print version is the previous bib display
screen which has copy Status/More Details etc., not the HTML page of the
full bib record along with the item location. After you print out the
bib records in both IE and Firefox, the print version is different in
both browsers just as you can see on Print Preview. I tried on III
training Web site and the same thing happens to them,
http://xtrain.iii.com/

Here is the trainer's suggestion: to edit INSERTTAG_INHEAD wwwoption:
(the following is the example she tried on III web opac)

<script type="text/javascript"
src="/screens/bibdisplay.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"
src="/screens/brief.js"></script><!--[if lte IE 8]><link
rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css"
href="/screens/ie_styles.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" media="print"
type="text/css" href="/screens/printVer.css" /><![endif]-->

You may need to alter this slightly for your WebPAC, but basically what
she did was change the media statement in the IE reference. She changed
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css"
href="/screens/ie_styles.css" /> to this: 

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

and added this:

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

Second, if you do not want the print version to carry top and bottom
logos, just to insert <div id="printVanish" > to the top and bottom logo
tokens in your bib_display.html. For example:

<div id="printVanish" >
<!--{toplogo}-->
</div>

And then, in your printVer.css, add this 
#printVanish {display:none}

You can check the print version in our training server at

Hope my response helps!

Did anyone come up with a solution for this.  I've tried adding stuff to
styles.css including the infamous display:none element to no avail.
