Problem of printing checkmarks...

[jianhua]

Why aren't the checkmarks in the checkboxes shown on paper
When printing an html form? How to solve that?

Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for this delayed post. The code is very simple and basic:

<form action=&quot;action_file_name&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;one_time&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;>One Time<br>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;weekly&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;>Weekly<br>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;monthly&quot; value=&quot;3&quot;>Monthly<br>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;annually&quot; value=&quot;4&quot;>Annually<br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>

My question is: when the user fills out the form and checks some of the boxes, if he wants to print the form as a record before he clicks the submit button, why the checkmarks disappear on paper? The paper only has blank checkboxes...

Hmmm, that prints for me ok in IE5.5.

I thought it might be if print background images was turned off (internet options, advanced, printing), but it printed ok either way.

What browser & version does the user have? Are you able to print the same form ok? Jessica

I tried to turn on the &quot;print background image&quot; before and it didn't work. I use IE6 and I cannot print the checkmarks.

Hmmm, had someone here who has IE6.0.2600.0000 print & the checks show up. Print background image was off. Jessica

Do you think it might be the printer...?

 

[jlsmithhartfiel]

Could be I suppose.

1. Can you go to another site that has checkmarks & print?
- to verify your code is okay (which it seems to be)
2. Do you have another printer you can print to, or does your user?
- what printer are you using?
3. What specific version of IE6 are you using? Works under IE6.0.2600.0000 printing to an HPlaserjet4000 Jessica

It's the printer's problem. I send the file to another printer and the checks show up. Thanks Jessica!!!!!!!!

Glad to help! Weird about the printer, but at least not your code & there's a workaround! Jessica
