Hello,
please do me a favour and forward the following remark
to the webmaster or to whoever is involved with page layout.
I do not expect any reply.
Thank you.
MS Internet Explorer 5.5 prints the following page badly in portrait format,
even the so-called printer friendly version:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/preface.html
The body text is truncated on the right.
I expect, this applies to a lot more pages, since they are all layouted in
the same way.
Reason:
The page uses a nested TABLE layout with with two images in the first
"outer" row.
Their combined width, unfortunately, exceeds the width of a normal printing
page.
Since both the width of the outer and of the inner table is set to "100%",
the result is poor.
After I stored the page on my disk and removed the "outer" table structure
like this, the result was ok.
<body text="#000000" vlink="#023264" alink="#023264" link="#023264"
bgcolor="#ffffff">
<!-- JAKARTA LOGO -->
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/";>
<img alt="..." src=".../jakarta-logo.gif" align="left" border="0"></a>
<!-- STRUTS LOGO -->
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/";>
<img alt="..." src=".../struts.gif" align="right" border="0"></a>
<br clear="all">
<hr>
<!-- Here begins the former "inner" table -->
<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#023264">
<font face="arial,helvetica,sanserif" color="#ffffff" size="+1">
<strong>0. Preface: Core Technologies</strong>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
... and so on.
