RE: [WSG] IE print bug crashes page
Gavin, Yep I had the problem on a page on a site and I seem to remember it was something to do with the !doctype declaration: In my case I had managed to miss it off the offending page. Bloody frustrating and hard to find when all the other pages were OK.

Re: [WSG] IE print bug crashes page
I had some problems with IE crashing when trying to print a while back, I think it had something to do with absolute positioning (can't remember though - there was also a bug with Mozilla not printing the bottom of the pages). I fixed it by adding a print stylesheet with everything unnecessary set to display:none. Sorry, that probably doesn't help you too much!

Re: [WSG] IE print bug crashes page
Implementing the suggestions at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/ Will go a long way to solving your problem. All floats should be set to float: none; and it often helps to make remove absolute positioned items. -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy Mobile: +61 (0)403 8000 27 http://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/ - Ramblings Thoughts http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav Gavin Cooney wrote: Hi all, I've got a page that when someone tries to print it in IE 6 on windows, it crashes the browser.
