Inman Flash Replacement and print stylesheets

[la_haine]

Hello,

Just a quick question; I'm using the Inman Flash Replacement technique
on my website for headlines, but when it comes to printing, Opera
doesn't print the headlines at all and IE prints the flash image -
what I'd like is for just the plain text to be printed, and there be
no flash images at all on the printed copy.

Is there anybody else who's using this technique and knows of a solution?

Create another stylesheet and link it in your page with a media attribute
of 'print'?

Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that - I'm already using a print
stylesheet. The problem is that when printing, browsers are displaying the
Flash text (or not displaying it at all) instead of using the plain text
that's available.

You could always fight Javascript with Javascript:

From another post today (I forgot to copy the author's name):
Right, you're not changing the rules, you're overriding them by setting a
property directly.

You could try to use the CSS-DOM
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/) to change the rule for only one
particular medium.

Or, if you have an element somewhere that is affected by a static property
that you've made dependent on the medium, you could check
the value of that property to determine what the actual medium is, and
conditionally change your css attributes based on that.
