You've touched upon several of my favourite "bug-bears" there.

Browser printing - a major pain.

In fact a lot of Windows based printing - the minor little differences between printers often causing big layout problems. Use of obscure fonts - especially company specific ones, so you can't reproduce a printed document from the source file.

Browser differences - especially between slightly different versions (ie no major releases) of the same browser.

Sites that don't let you change font size, when it appropriate to do so - age is having an effect on my eyesight.

Sites that let you change font size, when it isn't appropriate - often screws up layout big-time (I accept your reasons for disabling it)

Experiences - I go shopping, I do NOT have a supermarket experience, I go to watch a film, I do NOT have a cinema experience, I search/browse/use (rarely surf) the internet, I do NOT have an internet/brower experience.

Thanks for the comments.

>Excellent references and concepts – well done! Printing browser presented information is a great pain! First we have the issue of which browser will be in use and then for those of us who have corporate mandated browsers (IE) we have differences in how one browser version reacts compared to another.

My reasoning is simple – I must emulate preprinted forms. Still I have not been able to get some developers to understand correctly presented material is more important than the users “browser experience”!

The reports were done in ASP as I have to use absolute positioning to insure that all objects and data are presented on the print out. Having more than one bag of tricks is so important to anyone who is a software developer! I intend to use a few of the tricks presented and do use CSS with great results on my forms which appear on screen.
