I suspect the page is a frameset, which means the save icon at the top will only export the parent frame, which is blank. That doesn't work for me; I just get the text only as Michael says. However, if I click on the map and then do save as object, I can save the map as a png file. DPlngScan will then convert this to a jpg, which should suit Windows.

When I looked at it, it was the complete page, frame + map. InterGif, which is normally so reliable, converted it to a blank gif. Why? But by clicking on the map itself, I exported as an object to a PNG file, which printed OK on my Dell machine. So, all OK. But what a palaver! Regards Michael Bell --

I clicked Menu over the map, then Object-Save allowed me to save a PNG file. Double-clicking the PNG file caused PrivateEye to display it; it's an accurate representation of what I saw as part of the main page. I could also export the entire page as a Drawfile, again with the map clearly legible. NS r5649 of today, Iyonix, RO 5.11, 512 MB. Dave

SARPC on RISC OS 6.10 Netsurf r5632 (26th October) to HPLJ 5P Clicked the link and the map page was displayed on screen, clicked the Ns Printer tool icon. Here the Map prints, though a bit messily, straight from the as is Netsurf page to the printer. Additionally, if I click on the Print this page (Towards top right of the page), I get a new page that is printer friendly, click on the Netsurf print tool button and the page prints perfectly. The only way I could get it to *NOT* print the map, was if I clicked the mouse pointer in the area that comtained the text, top left, which I guess is understandable the way the page is constructed.
