Hi Rob,

sorry, the workaround wouldn't work. The span-tag has no Attribute height,
so it can only set by style. The problem doesn't occour at your links because
you only set Height to 100% as property (this will be ignored) and has no
effect.

if you set the height in style rather as attribute the problem will also
occour in 'ppfix.htm'.

The reason of this construct i use is a tamplate that build a consistent
border with navigate around an arbitrary content. the height (and also width)
at 100% ensures that the content fills the border complete. It works in IE6
(where i create and test it). The problem is new in IE7.

The parent table has no 100% height attribute, because it is not necessary
to show the problem (in praktice it has).

I would try to remove the span in print-layout, hope it has no other effects

regards

René

Hi Rob,

great thanks at first. I tried to report this issue in MS Connect-Feedback
site, but the IE-part is closed and link to this ng.

I tried the Websites you linked, but in my IE7, it works fine (without the
preview-pagecounting bug).

So i'm a little bit confused and i set by myself a border style and now the
page can be print.

Thank you: I have a very simple to implement workaround without to redesign
my complete websites.

I wish MS would fix the bug, so a workaraound isn't necassary.

Great thanks also to put it on MS Buglist (or whatever it named).

Regards

René
