Roger,
thanks, you confirm my newly found IE-weakness. Time to kill that bugger.
Have you, or anyone else, tried using expressions to feed IE/win new
print-values? After all; expressions are javascript-based, and should
work just as well as a script. If should be possible to feed auto-width
and other "leave it to user"-values that'll override any fixed or
alternating values.
Just a thought-- before I start testing all possibilities on my own site.
Side note: my IE6/win2K is not applying javascript-switched alternating
styles for print, to do content-panel-switching, on my bilingual pages.
It works fine on screen in IE, and Opera, Moz/FF and Safari apply these
alternating styles to both screen and print. IE prints out with all
panels open, so nothing is lost there either.
- To those interested: I use a multiple-stylesheet swapper script to
"merge" any number and combination of stylesheets to form complete
pagestyles. This makes CSS do a lot more than a single-stylesheet
switcher will allow-- and I can have a lot more fun with CSS. :)

Georg
