double text when printing

I just received an email from a user that said when he tries to print a page, any controls that are checked by UltimateSpell end up having double the text in the printout. It sort of creates ghost text in the textbox. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like, and it can be replicated on the sample application by doing a print preview of the page or just printing it out. Is there something I can do to quickly remedy this without having to disable UltimateSpell? This is a pretty big deal to my client. I guess I'll try messing with the css or something and see if I can figure it out. Perhaps adding a css class like <style media="print">.dontprint { display: none }</style> to something can fix it?

Thanks,
Anthony

Re: double text when printing

Using the IE Developer Bar, I was able to slightly remedy the problem. Here's a screenshot of how the page looks in the browser. Here's how it would look with the problem I described in my previous post. Basically (using the Developer Bar) I was able to to give the body tag of the iframe that UltimateSpell created for my textbox a cssclass of dontprint, which I mentioned in my previous post. With that in place, when I print or print-preview, the text of the iframe no longer shows and leaves the original text of the textbox in place. The only problem is that the original text is gray. The other problem is I don't know how to make UltimateSpell apply that css class to all the iframes it creates. I tried making the original textbox have a class of dontprint, but then the UltimateSpell text is offset from where it should be, which is what attributes to that ghosting effect.

Re: double text when printing

Print issue must be a bug in IE for iframes. We will fix this issue soon, however, in the meantime, you can use the following workaround in your code to temporarily hide and show the spell as you type boxes before/after you print:

function PrinterFriendlyVersion()

{

// Hide spell as you type boxes

for (textBoxId in UltimateSpellAsYouTypes) {

document.getElementById(textBoxId + 'usayti').style.display = 'none';

}

window.print();

// Show spell as you type boxes

for (textBoxId in UltimateSpellAsYouTypes) {

document.getElementById(textBoxId + 'usayti').style.display = '';

}
