Use jQuery to Show a Link’s Address After its Text When Printing In IE(beckelman.net)

submitted by JamesEggers(1250) 3 years, 3 months ago

I found a cool trick in a post by Remy Sharp that appends the address of a hyperlink to the end of the link’s text when the page is printed. Unfortunately the trick only works in browsers that support the CSS2 pseudo selector :after. Firefox, Safari, Chrome*, Opera and now IE8 all support the selector. IE6 and IE7 don’t though and that is a huge percentage of users. I came up with a way to achieve the same thing with IE6 and IE7 using jQuery and the proprietary IE events onbeforeprint and onafterprint though.
