Hi Bob:
I am still battling with print style sheets -
In particular, I have several property descriptions on the holiday
site, [1], and I'm failing to get a decent print out. Some are OK,
some are awful, and I can't see what the difference is. If you go to
the site, pick 'holiday homes', then 'Constantine', then 'Curlews'
and look at 'full details', you will find that the print style
produces a reasonable print-out from firefox, but rubbish from IE.
The problem is all tied up with the images being floated left and
right: in FF there is no problem, but in IE I don't get any word wrap
and the images stand alone. It's a mess.
The two style sheets for these details are at [2] and [3].
If anyone has had experience of this and how to overcome it, I'd be
really, really, thrilled.
you know what, i looked at Curlews in IE6 and it was perfect. I
noticed an option I'd never noticed before, the option to "print
selected frame" .... maybe that's a clue that will help. the issue is
w/ the frames, somehow, maybe.

Hi Donna, and thanks. I wrote a follow up, the next day, saying that
I'd fixed it. What it was, there was a' text-align : justify' in the
main (screen) css and this was (for some reason) confusing the floats in
the print CSS. Changing it to 'text-align : left' in the print CSS
worked wonders!
But thanks anyway!
