Hi there,
I ask the question partly tongue-in-cheek, but it does make me wonder iftools such as this should be the butt of responsibility?
No, I'd say tools like this are workarounds for the failings of the
native browser. You certainly can't start using pixels for sizing just

Ideally, yes, and by not using fixed widths. Otherwise, no, because it'd be way too much work. :-P

How far do you go with designing for printing?
Is there a particular reason that you are allowing printing of the
navigation elements? Unless they add value to the printed page they can all
be hidden using a print media style sheet.

That almost works, except the text of my links is
more than one line long and wraps onto the next line. When it wraps, the 2nd

Your site is certainly artistic but ouch, you need to convert that thing to

Hi Scott
I don't have an immediate answer for your problem, but I would like to
suggest some more vertical padding on your lists. I found it difficult to
keep focus on the links as I tried to go from second to third level. Perhaps
if the link was taller it would be easier for the mouse.

Seems fine here in FF on Mac. The flyouts cause a horizontal toolbar

backgrounds.
