Printing and NN7

print rule works as wanted in IE and Opera, but not NN7

I have a css print rule set up to force only one of several divs to print. The div to be printed contains tabular data in a table which spans several pages.

In IE5.5 and 6 and Opera7, both print preview and print work fine and covers the 4 pages I expect.

In NN7, print preview & print cuts off the tabular data at the end of page 1 and ignores all data which I would expect to see on pages 2 to 4.

Is this yet another NN glitch which can be worked round or am I missing something singularly simple here?

Thanks, Jools

I know I've got a couple documents which are multi-page and print fine with Mozilla and Galeon using a style sheet that hides several sections for printing. I don't have NN7 itself, but what works with other Gecko browsers ought to work for NN7 as well. My setup is pretty simple. The relevant portions are:


@media screen {
.printonly { display: none; }
}

@media print {
a { text-decoration: none; }

.webonly { display: none; }

}

Really, even the bit about not changing link appearance is superfluous. I just think it's tacky to mark something as a link in a medium that doesn't support them.
