Hi Georg,
Many thanks again!!!!!
This often means CSS based column-layouts can't be (re)created for
print, which, IMO, isn't a bad thing since multi-columns running over
several printed pages doesn't make all that much sense.
Linearizing - one "column" after the other - makes a lot more sense
on print.
I aware of this and already suggested to client. The end-client
wouldn't listen, just as he wouldn't listen the fontsize issue. It
hasn't been a pleasant project to work on, as much as I wanted to, I
cannot just quit half-way because this will be irresponsible
(secretly I do hope I get fired though!).
Generally: you should not reuse your screen-styles for print and
rely on
overriding with print-styles. Starting from scratch with a complete
set
of print-styles, will usually result in less complex print-styles and
more reliable results.
It works however I run into another problem. First I realized I
forgot to add 'media="screen" for the style sheet and was getting
different results both from Safari, Firefox (both don't seem to
render correctly) and IE (it shows correctly). As soon as I added
the 'media="screen", they work well but the content in IE is gone.
Had the #outer and #inner declared overflow: auto (*also tried
'visible' ) and height: auto (tried 100% too); removed the 25000px in
#middle and #right, still, the content is missing. It comes back if I
remove the 'media="screen" in other stylesheet. And yes, the
print.css is with "media="print".
Checked your perfect equal height page in IE6, there is a big gab
between the first and second column. I don't see you have a print
style sheet but the equal height column declaration doesn't get in
the way. How come? My IE7 is standalone version, the print preview
doesn't work therefor I can't test it. This is the same site that I
can't show the URL, I wonder if it's ok if I send you the page
offlist again to take a look?
