Hello

I am having trouble with print CSS and would like some advice please.

The web-site is in IE quirks mode but I guess this should only affect IE and
in view mode only?

The print CSS works fine in IE 6 and IE 7 with page breaks been put in where
they are required. In Opera the print preview (and print) page is truncated
on the right and the home page repeats page 1 twice, the print 'center'
seems to be based on the view window and not the printed page - IE correctly
shows the two pages.

Basically everything prints okay in IE 6 and 7 but not in Netscape 8.1.3,
Firefox 2.0.0.6 or Opera 9.22.

Firefox or Netscape does not put in a page break at all.

I have uploaded the test site to:

T.I.A.

Here is the print CSS (followed by the main CSS):

p {font-size:10pt; color:#000000}

body {
margin: 0;
background-image:none;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

#menu {
display:none;
}

#menubar {
display:none;
}

..footer {
display:none;
}

..content {
padding: 0px;
overflow:visible;
}

#container {
top:0px;
background:#FFFFFF;
padding-top: 0 0 0 0;
margin-top:0px;
width:100%;
overflow:visible;
}

#textarea {
padding: 0px;

overflow:visible;
