two diff. styles - one for screen, one for print

[Tomasm]

I have the following inside header of some of my pages, so the pages don't show some useless menus when printing, but it's not valid according to W3C. Please what's wrong?

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

Thanks.

I think that you need to change "all" to "screen" because the "all" umbrella includes "print". More information can be found at [w3.org...]
I hope that this helps.

The validity error you mention is either caused by the self-closing slash at the end of your print css (if you're using HTML) or the missing self-closing slash on your screen css (if you're using XHTML).

It was the self-closing slash that caused the problem - I read about this "double-styling" somewhere and based my code on the example given there I think, obviously it was not universal.

Seems fine now, however I have one other issue with the print style - when the text has more than one page, the last / first line is sometimes cut (horizontally), only top / bottom half of it or so visible. But then it's fine again on another page. Is there any trick how to make the text fit the paper? Thanks.

And thanks for the hints!

Please be aware that the screen/print stuff does not work properly in Netscape 4. Should you care? Probably not, but you should be aware.
