Hi Guys

I'm hoping that someone can have a look at the web site I am currently working on (See HERE (http://www.millicancs.co.uk/WebSite/profile.htm)) and tell me why I can't get the entire page width to print out on A4 paper. (I know I could change to "Landscape" mode when printing but I don't want to have to do that; as that would mean including a message on the site telling people that's what they've got to do).

Also the rest of the text (that you have to scroll to see) doesn't print out either, why is that ? ? ?

There's too much content to print the full width. It's about 1030px wide and I've found that IE needs about 760 to print full width. Firefox has a "shrink to fit width" print option so it's more versatile. As for the css scroll area, I can't think of a way to make that print correctly. Maybe someone else can come up with an idea. You'll need to get rid of that scroll area or make a printer friendly page.

Thanks for the reply Rockboy.

I'll have to try and reduce the overall width to 760px.

If anyone has a solution to the css scroll area I'd be most grateful if they'd share it.

IE7 which is comming out (currently in beta for msn subscribers) has the option of shrinking a webpage...
