[SOLVED] Page with includes -- breaks when printing in IE

Sharon replied to Sharon's topic in HTML Help

Thank you! It turned out that an errant <basefont> tag was the problem! Someone pointed out that I had <basefont="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"> which should have been <basefont face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"> When corrected, that alone fixed the printing problem. But I really appreciated your working on this!

Just a thought, but I have not tried this: could you use a background image behind the form, an image that would put the lines where they belong?

[SOLVED] Page with includes -- breaks when printing in IE

Sharon posted a topic in HTML Help

I have a website using PHP for including one file for the top of the html on a page, and one for the bottom of the html for each page. They get included into the content page using PHP. Almost all the pages in the site break just below the html coming from the included "top.php" file, but they break ONLY when you try to print them, using IE 6 or 7. Mozilla Firefox seems not to have any problem. I've spent hours trying to figure out why! Anyone see something I don't? Thanks! ------------------------------------------ Here's "top.php": <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="generator" content="Adobe GoLive 6"> <title>Midwest Creation Fellowship</title> <meta name="keywords" content="creation creationism creationist Genesis Flood Library Noah Noah's Ark Essay Contest"> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en"> <meta name="author" content="Sharon Brown"> <link href="../general_styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script type="text/javascript"></script> </csactiondict> </csimport> <csactiondict> <script type="text/javascript">  </script> </head> <body onLoad="preloadImages();" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"> <basefont="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"> <table width="595" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left">  <tr> <td width="104"> <div align="left"><a href="../html/index.php"><img src="../images/logo.gif" alt="MCF logo" width="104" height="78" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" align="left"></a></div> </td> <td width="491"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="beige"> <tr> <td><img src="../images/header.gif" alt="Midwest Creation Fellowship, PO Box 952, Wheaton, IL 60189 PH: 847-244-4373" height="78" width="491" align="top" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr height="404"> <td align="left" valign="top" height="404">  <table width="104" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><a onMouseOver="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_home',/*URL*/'../images/btn_home-over.gif');return true" onMouseOut="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_home',/*URL*/'../images/btn_home.gif');return true" href="../html/index.php"><img src="../images/btn_home.gif" alt="Home" name="btn_home" height="30" width="104" border="0"></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a onMouseOver="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_about',/*URL*/'../images/btn_about-over.gif');return true" onMouseOut="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_about',/*URL*/'../images/btn_about.gif');return true" href="../html/about.php"><img src="../images/btn_about.gif" alt="About Us" name="btn_about" height="30" width="104" border="0"></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a onMouseOver="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_ark_exhibit',/*URL*/'../images/btn_ark_exhibit-over.gif');return true" onMouseOut="changeImages( /*CMP*/'btn_ark_exhibit',/*URL*/'../images/btn_ark_exhibit.gif');return true" href="../html/arkexhibit.php"><img src="../images/btn_ark_exhibit.gif" alt="Ark Exhibit -
