    rich:modalPanel as Print Preview

    terryb

      Hi,

      I'm attempting to use rich:modalPanel as a print preview window. It is proving to be impossible to make to do following two things:

      - It should allow to scroll contents when contents are more than one page long.

      - When printed it should print all pages.

      Has anyone done this or can give any clues?

      If I enable scrollbars on div tag just inside the rich:modalPanel; the browser shows scrollbars; and knows the scroll position when scrolling up/down; but modalPanel does not scroll.

      And even though browser knows there are many pages of contents; on printing it only prints what it can fit on the screen.
