PostPost subject: Firefox printing truncated Reply with quote
I have a sample page of a report that won't print correctly in
Firefox.

Tthe mark-up looks good and I can't understand why it's not printing
past page 3.

As this is created using a core reporting object using an ISAPI app,
getting rid of the tables is unfortunately not currently an option.

Any help appreciated

It's easy. Look, the problem is here. Column 42. Change it this way. Then
put this there.

I'm impressed. I think however that I may need to revise my analysis. Maybe
it's really the tables.

Thank you for this nice little char.

Now, should you have an HTML problem, you might post it here. Of course, if
you want actual help, you need to reveal actual details, such as the URL.

D'OH!!

It's quite a mess, to be honest. Lots of embedded CSS code scattered around,
lots of JavaScript, etc. I'm afraid it's major debugging task

The whole document body is a huge form element. This might cause trouble,
since Firefox has miscellaneous problems with forms. For some odd reason, a
form at the _start_ of a page seems to confuse it at times. The form seems
to contain no genuine input fields and no submit button, just hidden fields,
so I'm puzzled.

Viewing the page in Firefox Print Preview, I see two pages, then an empty
page, then page 4 with content, and an empty page 5. If I disable CSS, Print
Preview looks normal at least in the sense of containing all of the content,
so this might be the immediate cure to the acute problem.

You might try debugging it by first removing all CSS, then adding parts of
CSS code at a time so that you'll see what CSS rules trigger the problem.
Good luck.
