Hello,

I have a problem with a print.css. When trying to print or using the
print preview in Firefox only a blank page is shown.
At http://80.190.188.58/test/test.html you can find a test-page with
the problem (please ignore some missing images and additonal,
unrelevant css-files for screen-rendering).

Printing works as expected in Opera 9.27, IE 6, IE 7 and Safari.

When inspecting the print preview HTML-Code in Firebug the elements
which should not be printed are display:none as expected. The elements
which should be printed are not shown as display:none but don't show
up on the print preview

Can someone give me hint how to resolve this problem?

Thanks
JF

Hey,
the problem is that there is a ton of css styling inside of your
xhtml ...
I just deleted all of that and like magic you get a print preview with
everything showing
exactly like in safari.
Just clean up the css mes and put it where it belongs, in the css
file ;)

Good luck!

I've found the problem:
<label for="provbasis" class="fett" style="width:110px; float:left;">
was missing the float:left. Now printing works as expected.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Greetings
JF
