RE: [WSG] inability to line up elements in a print style sheet

[michael.brockington]

You may want to double-check you maths - I make it around 800px high at
72dpi:
295mm / 25.4mm  = 11 inches  * 72 dpi  ~ 800px after margins.

sheet



Hi List

http://actemp.sipu.anglia.ac.uk/steve/transcript/d59.html
<http://actemp.sipu.anglia.ac.uk/steve/transcript/d59.html> 

My colleague is trying to produce a print style sheet for IE
only for a page of student results which will vary considerably in
length from one student to another.  He's using JS to work out how much
of the table can be displayed on each page, and has marked the follow up
page with the place where he'd like the continuing table to start on
page 2.  He's using absolute positioning to position the elements and
has calculated that at 72dpi and A4, the page is exactly 1040px high, so
if it printed reliably, he'd be able to position everything exactly.

Needless to say, it isn't working.  Does anyone have any ideas
whether this can be achieved using css (or any other method)?

Many thanks for any suggestions

Rachel
