Print CSS to print complete Full Names where only Abbreviations exist on the Webpage?

[Andre_Sam]

Hi

As a follow-up to this, is there a way to have the print version of a data table to print complete Table Headers (full names) where only acronyms exist on the webpage.

With some tricks you might be able to achieve it, like display:none; for the acronym tag in the print css and place the full name behing the acronym in a span with a class that places this tag somewhere outside the screen, e.g.

<acronym title="National Basketball Association">NBA</acronym><span class="hide">National Basketball Association</span>

screen css:

span.hide {
margin:-1000px;
}

some people recommend to use display:none in this case as well, or other techniques. Don't know whether this one is the best.

print css:

acronym {
display:none;
}

That should do the trick. Hope that makes sense, It's pretty late and I'm a bit tired...
