Re: Kamakawi Orthography Page

It's a known problem with all pages which specify a height for a box
containing the main text of the page. Instead of getting broken into
several physical pages the text just flows off the bottom of the first
page. There may be other things that cause the same problem, but
setting a min-height instead of an absolute height for the containing
block might do the trick. When I disabled page styles the
images/tables disappeared. In Opera page breaking was OK but the
layout got garbled, with images appearing wildly out of place and the
top of some pages getting cut off. Unfortunately this can't be
captured in screen shots, turning up only in printout. I will
experiment with Stylish if I can create a style which does the trick.
The absolutely strangest part is the images which go blank when
printing from Firefox. Since it prints correctly perhaps you could
make a printout to PDF and link it?
