  1. POPrinting, table does not respond to portrait and landscape
    text
    copied!<p>I have a table that displays a set of data. But when I try to print the page using <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> or <code>window.print();</code>, the table width does not respond to portrait or landscape orientation. The table width will exceed the paper width. How can I fix this?</p> <p>My table markup:</p> <pre><code> &lt;table class="datatable"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="15"&gt;ID&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="15"&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="30"&gt;Property Type&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="50"&gt;Name/Address&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="10"&gt;Block&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;Unit&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;Sqft&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;$&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;$/Sqft&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;R.Yield&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class="sorting" width="35"&gt;Status&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr id="listing1" class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="sorting_1"&gt;1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Sale&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Apartment / Condo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="/index.php/listings/view/7" title="Parc Rosewood"&gt;Parc Rosewood&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Default Administrator (12345678) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;10&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;08-90&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;227&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$2,170,000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$9,559&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; 1% &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Available &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="listing2" class="even"&gt; &lt;td class="sorting_1"&gt;2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Sale&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Apartment / Condo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="/index.php/listings/view/3" title="Woodgrove Condo"&gt;Woodgrove Condo&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; John Doe (12345678) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;03-12&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;2,360&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$1,900,000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$805&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; -- &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Available &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="listing3" class="odd"&gt; &lt;td class="sorting_1"&gt;3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Sale&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Apartment / Condo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;a href="/index.php/listings/view/2" title="Casablanca"&gt;Casablanca&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; John Champion (12345678) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;7&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;01-36&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;1,326&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$1,000,000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;$754&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; -- &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; Available &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>CSS Markup:</p> <pre><code>table { margin: 20px 0px 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing: 0px; width: 100%; } thead th { text-align: left; padding: 2px 5px; border-bottom: 1px solid #E0E0E0; } </code></pre> <p>Screenshot: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uS7VR.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
