"printing with IE 5"

Right side g page being cut off

[kmassing]

We are looking for JavaScript, .CSS or something to correct the right side of web
pages being cut off when printing from IE 5.5 and 6.x.
We have all Intranet pages within an 800 pixel wide table for display on
typical 800x600 resolution monitors.
IE cuts the right side of the table off (see
[support.microsoft.com...] (setting
the margins as explained in the MS article is not enough) Netscape does not.
IE is our standard browser. We can provide PDF files for printing, but our
resources for staffing for this are limited.
Is there any way to set print parameters with scripts?
TIA,
ken

It's because you've specified a pixel width for the table
it's going to fixed at this width for printing too..

one solution would be to change your table width to 100%
then make the columns percentages too..it should still display to fit your screens as it will fill any size of screen..and it will also correct itself to 100% of the paper width when it comes to printing

yep non-liquid table layouts can be troublesome when it comes to printing :(

You could also use the media="screen" property for you CSS and redefine the widths of your layers etc. in this for-print only CSS file.

535px (IIRC) is the recommended width for A4 printing (allowing for gutters and margins).
