This is a CSP/HTML question.
I have been using the <fieldset> tag in several of my CSP pages to add
additional titles and borders around my tables for quite a while now.
Unfortunately, I just discoverred a problem when printing pages that use the
<fieldset> tag from Windows XP and I am hoping someone in this group has a
fix or workaround.
For some reason IE in Windows XP will take a 6kb html file and balloon it up
to 2.6MB in the print spool. If I print the same file from IE in Windows
2000 the spool file size will is only 240kb. Both machines are running IE6
with the latest updates.
In WinXP, I have seen some of these spool files get as large as 94 MB! If I
remove <fieldset>, the problem goes away. This is causing printing times
of these pages to slow down to 3-5 minutes.
I use that tag a lot and I really don't want to have to reformat all my
pages if I don't have to.
Here is the most basic example. Create an HTML or CSP page with this code
and send it to your printer and note the spool file size. Remove the
fieldset tags and try it again.
<html>
<head>
<title>Fieldset Tag Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset>
Hello World!
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
