I've been given the task of making a website printable. So I had nothing to do with the original design of the thing. I actually can't stand the website. So...upon looking at the site I decided to use CSS to fix my problem. What I'm doing is labelling the divs and tables as "Content" when I want them to print.

Here's my style tags stuff:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../includes/styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../includes/print.css" type="text/css" media="print">


And here's print.css:

body{ background-color:#FFFFFF; background-image:none; color:#000000 }
div { display: none; }
div#Content { position: absolute;
left: 20px;
top: 20px;
display: block;
color: #000000; }
table { display: none; }
table#Content { display: block; color: #000000;}

This printing works great in IE however in Netscape when I go to print it prints only the first page of content. And as a little side issue...when I try to print in Opera it seems to completely ignore print.css. I don't understand. Can someone explain to me how to fix this? Or maybe I shouldn't be trying to use CSS to fix my problem...in that case can someone point me in the right direction?

I've been experimenting...so this is the only page that the printing should work with.

I don't know if it's using the print.css but it's fine in Opera 7.1.

Which version of Netscape 4.7x series or the Mozilla based Netscape 6.0+ because 4.7x doesn't understand CSS print properly.
