If anyone wants to take a crack at it, posted a sample page to:
http://www3.telus.net/public/tao55/help/test.htm

Didn't upload the images but the blanks are there. To re-interate, I'm trying to print this info out with margins. It's an aesthetic thing. I know the end-user can do this via their page setup, but I thought it would be a nice thing to do for them, seeing as how some people don't know how to set margins. Clean page breaks would be nice too.

Right now, it won't print more than a page in FF, I think because of the centering DIV. The stylesheet is in the header.

Spare me comments about deprecated elements, not catering to all window sizes, etc. Been there. (Unless these issues would solve my immediate problem.)

Any solutions to my printing challenge would be gratefully accepted.

CSS novice,

Keep saying it is not your CSS and all the absolute positioning, but if I *disable* your CSS the complete document prints!

Also fixing you errors might help...
