[SOLVED] Print preview of web page flashes up

joannelturner · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 6th, 2007, 09:37

Hi - I am new to web design and have created my first web site for a local charity preschool. I have just got the site hosted - however when I look at the site from home (using IE7) -it looks just fine - but when it is viewed by someone else from their work (using IE6) before the web page loads up it briefly flashes up the print preview version of the page - which then disappears and the web page loads up correctly.
I have written the site on Dreamweaver using links to CSS to contain the design element - it's as if it is loading the site before taking any notice of the style sheet - the code I've used to include the css is:

Code: Select all

 
<head>
<title>The Glebe Pre-School</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url(basic.css);</style>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url(tabs2.css);</style>
</head>

The website is http://www.glebepreschool.co.uk

Any help would be fantastic,

Thanks,
Jo

You could try this but makes sure your paths to the css files are correct. This assumes the css files are in the same directory as the pages. You could create a folder called includes and put the css in there and add a path in the link href

Code: Select all

<head>
<title>The Glebe Pre-School</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<link href="basic.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<link href="tabs2.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head>

IE6 always causes problems by the way

Thanks - have managed to sort it out by changing the code that calls the css to

Code: Select all

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tabs2.css" media="screen" />
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="basic.css" media="screen" />

pretty much as you suggested!!
