What I am trying to do is change the background colour of a table

  • 0

What I am trying to do is change the background colour of a table cell <td> and then when a user goes to print the page, the changes are now showing.

I am currently using an unobtrusive script to run the following command on a range of cells:

element.style.backgroundColor = '#f00' 

This works on screen in IE and FF, however, when you go to Print Preview, the background colours are lost.

Am I doing something wrong?

    Have you tried hard-coding the values just to see if background-colors are showing on the print-preview at all? I think it is a setting in the Browser.
