Im just going to echo what Bob said. Your site will not print properly because a) your site is fixed width and is not designed to scale with smaller display areas (such as the translated size of A4 paper), and b) you do not have any style sheet that applies to printed pages, so that the fixed

Hi Lenoard,Whilst the min-width, min-height will work in the likes of FireFox you will find that it does fall over in the likes of IE. I had a similar issue for a navigation toolbar for a client where 300 of their terminal users were on 800x600 max resolutions, although with the amount of

Hi Bruce, You can use some application servers to generate PDF on the fly. I have used Coldfusion MX 7 server to generate PDF of HTML pages. See here for more info: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/video_tutorials.html I think .net has something similar too. Hope this helps. Steven
