HTML print with absolute postitions

Question

Is it possible to print a HTML page with truly absolute positioned elements to paper? It seems all browsers are doing a big mess here. It is easy to define a body by absolut

Answer 1

I have tested browser status for printing "position:absolute" elements with the following results:

• IE 11: Fail. Doesn't matter what OS, 7,8,8.1.
• IE 10: Pass. However, you cannot revert to 10 on 8.1 so folks with that are stuck.
• Firefox up to 38.05 = Fail. Unknown if any version ever worked.

The good news is that it looks like the Blink/WebKit people did their homework instead of using poor code.

• Chrome: Pass
• Opera: Pass
