 The DeviceRect behavior defines the master template of all pages. Use it to place your company logo, to change the background color, or to decorate your margins with a special pattern. You define the master page with a regular <STYLE> element. Of course, you can have a different master page for every rendered page. Suppose we want to define a master page with the following attributes:

  • 8.5 inch wide
  • 11 inch tall
  • Yellow background color
  • 1 pixel wide solid black left border
  • 1 pixel wide solid black top border
  • 4 pixels wide solid black right border
  • 4 pixels wide solid black bottom border
  • 10 pixels wide margin on all sides

We define a style called masterstyle as follows:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.masterstyle
{ 
  width:8.5in;
  height:11in;
  background:#FFFF99;   
  border-left:1 solid black;
  border-top:1 solid black;
  border-right:4 solid black;
  border-bottom:4 solid black;
  margin:10px;
}
</STYLE>
Here is the complete HTML code that displays all master pages:

<HTML XMLNS:IE>
<HEAD>
<?IMPORT NAMESPACE="IE" IMPLEMENTATION="#default">
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.masterstyle
{ 
    width:8.5in;
    height:11in;
    background:#FFFF99;   
	border-left:1 solid black;
	border-top:1 solid black;
	border-right:4 solid black;
	border-bottom:4 solid black;
    margin:10px;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<IE:DEVICERECT ID="page1" CLASS="masterstyle" MEDIA="print">
</IE:DEVICERECT>

<IE:DEVICERECT ID="page2" CLASS="masterstyle" MEDIA="print">
</IE:DEVICERECT>

</BODY>
</HTML>
See what the master page looks like. For more information on print templates, go to Column 89, Print Templates, Part I.
