Landscape printing

[Chris Beall]

I have a table (yes, it's a REAL table...) that is quite wide.
Even with a small font selected, it won't fit on a portrait mode letter
page. Rather than leave the user to figure out how to print it in
landscape mode, I'd like to do that for him, so when the UA Print
function is invoked, the page is automatically printed in landscape mode.

I tried adding:
@media print {
@page {size: landscape}
}

to my style, which had no effect at all in IE 5.5 and NN 7.1. Is that
because:
1. I've misinterpreted what this CSS styling really does.
2. I've coded it incorrectly.
3. These browsers don't support this CSS function.
4. Other.
?

Thanks,
Chris Beall

Opera seems to be the only browser with any level of support for
printing features.

Mikko,

Thanks, I'll leave it there for future use, but won't expect any current
results.
