The print preview does not look like it has been worked on - the browser message is visible at the top of the page when printed. If anything this is exactly the time you would NOT want the message to appear :) The usefulness of browser message has also been discussed a lot of times on list recently. Hope that didn't sound too brutal :) Russ > I have been working on updating my blog for some time and I can only > go over it with my fine-tooth comb but so much before I can't see the > forest for the trees. > > I would like the members of this group to go to this "beta" version of > my blog and critique to your heart's content and point out anything > you see wrong.
