Re: [WSG] Redundant Code

Don't know the maximum number of pixels a page can have; it very likely depends on the user agent. I would have thought the most robust way is to have a fluid design; which led me to an idea--having a fluid design only in the print media type :P I wonder if anyone's done that??

Or you could print it out in landscape view, given that a piece of paper is normally portait whereas a screen often landscape.

FireFox has some rather nice print options, btw.

Hi, Sarah-
I printed out your test site because I thought it was so very clean and
attractive and I wanted to study your use of styles in creating it.
However, the page is wider than my printer's page size so some text is lost
along the left side. For instance, Checkout in the navigation bar is cut
off as is Contact.
I see you have set the container width at 760px. Does anyone know what is
the maximum number of pixels for page width in order to avoid truncating the
text along the left side of a print job? Even Microsoft's support pages
suffer from this same problem . . . really maddening when trying to solve a
technical problem.
Thanks for your help.
Mary Ann

Hi Siggy

Thanks for your reply.

<ul> <li>Sub Heading 1
      <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Category 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="/">Category 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="/">Category 3</a></li>
    <li><a href="/">Category 4</a></li>
    <li><a href="/">Category 5</a></li>
    <li><a href="/">Category 6</a></li>
   </ul> </li>
 <li>Sub Heading 2</li>  <li>Sub Heading 1</li>
</ul>

The change to the heirarchy above is great, but it doesn't help the #header,
#mainnav
and #subnav lists because there isn't a heading for these. If you look at
the page with styles
disabled you'll see what I mean.

I have changed the list style as per your suggestion #2 - thanks, an obvious
improvement.
