True, I guess that's why the folding button is there on the current doc pages, I didn't get that since I never print anything. My take on it would just be "select the area you want to print and print selection", but that's the selfish approach so.. what do we do? :) Multiple stylesheets are not much better imo, it relies again on user knowledge of some browser feature. Hiding the user notes from the print view always would be an option, but it will piss of people (if any) that do want to print them. I guess the +/- button as is now is a good compromise, if that's alright I'll try to work it in. > WIth the increased use of small screen devices, I also think style > sheets for media="handheld" should be looked at. Mobile browsers are also getting increasingly better at resizing content and all, so I don't know if it's really required, at least I wouldn't prioritize this. One approach might be to make the whole content column fluid with max-width: $currentWidth, so that it at least scales down nicely. Cheers, Jordi
