Web Page Prints Weird

[JayB]

http://www.fape.org/idea/what_idea_i..._overview1.htm

When I try to print this page in IE, each word is on it's own line. When I
try to print in Firefox, it only prints out one page.

I've validated the CSS and the HTML but I still can not find what is causing
this problem Perhaps a fresh set of eyes can see what I missed?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know why you want the huge gaps on the top and left but instead of
absoulte positioning it would be easier to use:
#Main_Content {
margin-left: 160px;
margin-top: 180px;
}
and that also sorts out the print problems.

Though it would be even nicer if those styles were removed altogether -
the document would then print on five pages instead of seven.

You're using absolute positioning. It's probably not clear to browser
designers how absolute positioning should be handled for print media. But on
the other hand, you should consider what you intended when you specified
that absolute positioning be used for print media.

That takes care of it. I've stopped using absolute positioning for my main
content a while ago but never got around to updating this website and
completely forgot to look at that.

The margins on the left and top are in place for the navigation menu and the
heading. The final page is at

them to save everyone time when looking for the problem.

Thanks Steve!
