I am having a problem with Netscape 7.2. I have nested tables, and the text in the inner table will not display in the print preview/print.
Here is the code:

<td height="100">&nbsp;</td>

<td rowspan="21" valign="middle" scope="row">

It is showing for me - on a Win98 machine.

Thanks,
I mis-stated what I was seeing. In NS 7.2 and Firefox 0.9.3, the inner nested tables "shift" to the bottom of the last page (in print preview).

Thanks,

I've reworked the table test page - this time I've nested a parent div, with three sub divs. The odd thing here is that while all of my divs show up in the screen version, "one less" than the number of divs I have shows up in the print preview/print.

Here is how the divs are nested (this replaces the nested tables in the "table_test_a.htm" file).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
