I have NO idea what is going on..I can print it from my printer (I use mac), but she says she has been getting lots of email from others who can't print as well...
This site is a non-profit organization for Child Abuse, and there is a lot of info that people need to print sometimes...
here is the link to the site
Thanks in advance! |
I'm not going to bother explaining why using Fireworks to produce HTML is a Very Bad Thing(tm)
...Primarily because "tables are baaaad, m'kay?", plus they're a right pain when dealing with accessibility and mulitple output media formats
...Don't get me started on your use of Spacer.Gif
Anyway, the reason why it doesn't print is beyond me.... your code is an utter mess, even if it did print... it wouldn't print properly.... its rigid table layout forces to onto a second horizontal page when printed.
Be aware that "paper = white" and "your font = white"
Go figure
No offense, but I'd never hire you to design anything.... not until you develop accessible websites, especilly when its a non-profit organisation
