From my experience this debate is utterly pointless (as it is about duplicating browser functionality) and actually counter-productive, > Others feel that they should be offered a preview of the page first, > and then offered the chance to print that page. To me, that seems > like: > 1) an extra click to accomplish the task > 2) an unnecessary step in the process (particularly if the user were > printing multiple pages) > 3) extra programming work to create > 4) Easily accomplished by using "Print Preview" (granted, I know > many users WILL NOT do this). exactly for these reasons – it's a lose/lose in almost all cases. -- Jens Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
