Hello Everyone,
(If you would prefer to get to the meat of this lengthy post, I have bolded the main issue below.)
This is my first visit here to the DNN community forums. I've been slowly (emphasis on the slowly) teaching myself html, css, php, etc. while building my own coupon advertising website. The site is called
coupow.com. I received a community grant from my county which paid for the services of a consulting group to build the site. The software engineer at that firm setup the site using DNN. He did all of the backend creation and added some custom functionality to various modules. I no longer have the services of that company so I am self-teaching in order to make the needed changes to my site until I can afford to hire a more competent individual to help with the technical fixes and updates.
Okay, that's the back story.
I have a list of things I would like to modify on my site. I'll start with the main issue -
Printing the Background Image with the Coupon:
End users have the ability to print coupons. To print coupons at coupow.com the user must:
- sign in
- check the boxes next to the word "clip" on the coupon(s) you want to print
- go to the top of the page and click on the "print coupons" button (yeah, I know it would be better to not make people go back to the top - I'm working on that too).
- Follow the instructions on the pop-up dialogue box.
The problem I am having is that the background images on both the page and the individual coupons do not include the background image. You can see all of these images on the screen but they don't show up on the printout. Initially the idea was to save the end user som ink, but the lack of branding on the printout makes the coupons look cheap and unappealing.
I assume there must be some javascript that is resetting some css during the print process but I have been unable to identify it.
I've created a test user account if you would like to see the problem in action. Just follow the instructions in the numbered list above using the username and password below:

Thank you for the help.
