[Resolved] table colors wont print!

[babygodzilla]

im baffled i dunno how to fix this. my php script generates a table with the CSS and all that. i hit print from the browser, and the table cell colors wont show! it's all white. the text colors are printed tho. any ideas?

Maybe your CSS is invalid, go to the w3c site and validate it. Then do anything it says and retest.

thank you!

one thing tho, when i save the resulting table as plain html and i open it on notepad, there's a <tbody> tag that comes out of nowhere. its not in my code, ive never heard of it till now. ?????

Not sure if I'm following here, but your td tags have a class="cat"

Looking at your stylesheet:

.cat {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;

}

You didn't define the background color in this class. How is it supposed to know what color to make it if you haven't specified?
