[SLUG] website or browser bug?

2008-07-22 Thread Grant Parnell

I'm trying to print this page out.
http://www.sbr.gov.au/content/accounting_bookkeeping_and_tax_professionals_taxonomy_2.htm

I've tried various browsers on Ubuntu Hardy (firefox, epiphany, galeon, 
konqueror...) plus firefox on Fedora Core 6. They all suffer the same 
issue which can be demonstrated by going to print preview. All I get is 
the url text. It seems to render on screen just fine. I've also turned 
off java  javascript in to see if that would do it.


This is just one of the pages we want to be able to print and look at 
from this site.

The print stylesheet is all wrong, basically culling everything.

A way around this would be to delete the print stylesheet in Firebug
(simplest solution I can think of).

Download/isntall Firebug extension. Restart Firefox.
Tools  Firebug  Open Firebug
In Firebug select HTML tab.
In the HTML expand the following elements: html  head
In head find the following element and right click Delete Element:
link media=print type=text/css rel=stylesheet
href=../_stylesheet/subpages_print.css/

Then you should be able to print (that particular page your working on).

Might be a simpler way, but its what first comes to mind.

And it works fine in IE6 IE8 (just tried it) because IE simply ignores 
print stylesheets.

Government departments tend to be reasonably responsive to these kinds 
of issues -- and this one's an easy fix, they could just remove the 
print stylesheet and the result will at least be better.  So see if you 
cna find a technical contact.
