ah ha. interesting. that link shows this syntax:

@page {
size: landscape;
}

....however im not used to using "@" class definitions. is that valid
syntax in a .css, just like that?

perhaps i have CSS 2.1 -- in IE 6, even w/ the above page class
definition in my print media's .css, when i get to the OS' print dialog
its still uses my printer's default of portrait. im running on windows
2k pro.


thanks,
matt
