I already did (check the page again; there's two links to .pdf�files). If your
images are printing out blank, go to the settings�of your web browser and
make sure the "print background�images" button is checked (it needs to be, in
this case). This�box height you speak of is news to me... I'd better check
that.�I spent about an hour earlier today validating both the HTML�and the
CSS, and it all checks out. I'll see what I can
find.��-David�*******************************************************************�"sunly
