Printing problems

[Guest]

When I print out my homepage, it cuts off half of the page. What am I doing wrong?

you'll probably wind up making an alternative print friendly page in a
smaller table or using .css to specify what actually gets printed and what
size.

If you look at my site http://nedp.net then on any page hit file/ print
preview (to save paper and ink) you'll notice that I have it rigged to blow
off the top banner and the side menu(s) for printing. it's done with .css
and doesn't require an additional page.

sure!
you make an external file called a cascading style sheet and save it within
your web.

you can look at the source code of any of my pages and see in the head
section of the page how the two (or more) different style sheets.

you will also be able to see the url of the style sheet so you can download
them to see how they work.

I'm no virtuoso in any way so you might want to go here:

and see a more "proper" example.
