  • 0

I am facing some issue in printing a form created using absolute positioning in FF. I am printing on A4 sheet. The page comes fine if its single paged form, but when i have to print multi page form the only first page is printed and other elements that have to come on second page overwrites each other in a single line on the next page. Its quite weird the same is working fine on IE

NOTE I am unable to share the html as it includes a lot of css and quite complex and big HTML pages.

@media print { marquee { -moz-binding: none; } body{overflow:visible !important;} }

#c{

    There is a thread where the topic was already discussed:
    Firefox printing only 1st page

    However, the problem could be in the css.
    As explained here http://briancaos.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/firefox-only-prints-first-page-of-contents/

    If you have an 

    overflow: hidden;

    in your css, change it to 

    overflow:visible;

    and then it should work.
