Oftentimes SM refuses to print an entire HTML document, truncating it
at the bottom of page one even though it goes on much longer. Here's
an example:
<http://www.nlightsweb.com/lib/renhist.htm>
This contains the frameset code
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://www.jtl.us/nlightsweb/lib/renhist.htm";
frameborder="0" />
<frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>
which makes it misprint.
But if I right-click in the middle of the text and tell SM to "show
only this frame," I get the nested page, which prints normally:
<http://www.jtl.us/nlightsweb/lib/renhist.htm>
Setting aside the question of whether this is good or bad design,
shouldn't SM be able to cope?
Seamonkey 2.3.3; Windows/XP; printer is Adobe Acrobat V7.
File / Print / Each frame separately.
Resulting PDF is fine, shews everything.
Yes, thanks, I get the same with Acrobat 8.3. But the first option, "as
laid out on the screen," doesn't work.
Two usability issues:
1) The setting doesn't stick; I have to choose every time, but SM keeps
defaulting back to "the selected frame." That's fine if this option
always works, but in order to tell, I do Print Preview, and then I have
to exit that to make my selection, but can't preview that to tell if I
chose well.
2) No way of knowing which is "the selected frame." I can't even tell if
the doc contains frames without canceling out and examining the source
code -- how many users will do that!?
