Using media = "print" for IE8

<link rel="stylesheet" href="printStyle.css" media="print" />

This line captures print previews for Chrome / IE7 and IE9, but doesn't seem to work with IE8. Has anyone understood any idea?

After some comments, I realized that this is an IE8 problem. I was about to unite and came up with the following at the top of my section:

 <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="http://html5shiv-printshiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5shiv-printshiv.js"></script> <![endif]-->

This allows you to use a common stylesheet with @media print {} .

This again works in IE7 / 9, not IE8. I can not, again, understand why. But printshiv really works, otherwise I could not get the correct preview in IE7.

I finally figured out what went wrong (with great luck ..)

For some reason, the following css did not do this job:

 #divID1, #divID2, #divID3 { display: none; }

Modified by:

 #divID1 { display: none; } #divID2 { display: none; } #divID3 { display: none; }

and now it works in IE8. I can’t understand why ..

This is not supported in IE8. Possible workarounds are offered in IE8 support for CSS Media Query . Hope this helps. :-)
