I have the following CSS for my print style:

* {
 display:none;
}

#printableArea {
 display:block;
}

I expected this to hide all elements, and only show the printableArea, however everything gets hidden. In print view, all I get is a blank page.

I have it included properly in the HEAD, with media="print" on this particular stylesheet.

    If an element is not displayed, then none of its children will be displayed (no matter what their display property is set to).

    * matches the <html> element, so the entire document is hidden.

    You need to be more selective about what you hide.
