In several browsers I test in, this page does not print the way I intend it to:
http://bit.ly/gfxVaw

Well, I take that back, it displays correctly in Safari 5 on my iMac, but not in Safari 5 on my Macbook.

Here are the problems with each:
  • Mac & Windows FF: Only prints the first page with one blank page after it. Even though I've selected 'All' in print dialogue box
  • Macbook Safari: '<div class="table">' is supposed to break onto a new page, but in this browser it does not (although it does on iMac)
  • IE7: Only prints one page, with a blank page before and after
Is styling for print meant to be so troublesome?!

I can see there are a lot of HTML errors, a lot of them were unfortunately generated by the client when updating the site so fixing these could be very time consuming, and may not even fix the problems I'm having.

If anybody has any ideas that would be great.
