You need the PHP to only add the footer div to odd pages. PHP can count (what you define as) pages, but CSS cannot. You could add a class to odd pages in which case CSS could be used to show or hide based on the presence of that class, but honestly, once you've done the logic to add the class, you might as well just be adding the entire div in question instead. Regardless, what you determine to be a single page will definitely not be a single page on every printer. You'll likely get reports of people getting that footer in very odd places. As soon as you start thinking printing, you should probably move to PDF. Unless you have the requisite amount of self loathing to tackle "PHP+HTML+CSS+The Universe of Printers." I'd recommend that route. -Tim -- ----------------------------------------- tim.arn...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
