Print - Text getting chopped off

[rogerood]

Hi, If you check out the print preview for the following page:

http://www.thetrainingstation.org.uk/tts/courses/search.asp?rs=&s=test&sd=&v=

You will notice that the e on sort by date is chopped off. Also a few other little bits are aswell. I've got a seperate style sheet for printing and I've been playing with it for the last few hours but had no luck so I thought i'd ask the experts.

If you have any idea what it could be I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

Given that printed pages are static media, and cannot change, why bother printing those links at all?

That aside, they look fine to me - the "e" is not being chopped off. Maybe your browser settings are different to mine, or you're using a different browser, printer, printer settings, page size, paper size, etc.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Definately an issue, a few users have bought this up, so I thought I'd check it out. I've decreased some of the padding which helped, but when I set it to zero it made it worse.

Following my last post, I thought of the genius idea of increasing the padding and it seems abit better now, not 100% but I'm happy with it. Cheers for your help.

I still don't see why you would ever want to print that link, given that you can't click the paper to change the sort order. It makes absolutely NO sense to me to have it there!

Yeah, I agree. Unless you are going to show the user the URL that the link goes to, it seems kinda pointless.

In fact,I'd also choose to remove the following elements from the printout - which will give you more room for genuine data:

- The top nav section ("Home" to "Login"), as they cannot be clicked

- The LHS and RHS nav sections (for the same reason)

- Both search boxes (ditto)
