Topic: Table width for printing

Greets!

I'm trying to develop a "printer version" template for a site, and was curious as to if anyone has some pointers about a safe width that won't get cut off when printing.

Thanks!

hey pugzly (great name, btw) -

have you messed around with printer-specific stylesheets? It depends on how the rest of your document is setup i suppose, but I have used these in some situations with great success.

it goes something like this:

<!-- 

      this stylesheet will affect the layout of printed versions 

      does not work in nav4 and older browsers, but what does, really?

-->

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

inside your stylesheet you could override the width of your root table with "auto" or "100%" (that may not work depending on margins and other things), which will cause it to just take up as much space as possible on the page.
