    Why is it that if I want to print one of the many great articles on CodeProject, I always have to first switch to the print view, and then actually print the page?? If I click on the "Print Version" for an article, it's only because I want to print it - why can't CodeProject start the printing right away? That'd be the way I expect it to work (like on many other sites, e.g. MSDN and others). ============================= Marc Scheuner, Bern, Switzerland m.scheuner - at - inova.ch May The Source Be With You!

      I'll have to disagree. If I click printer friendly, it's because I want to read the page without the adverts and menus and stuff, and *then* print it if I want to. MSDN does this wrong IMO, and it drives me nuts. The other reason is that if you click it by accident, you want to be able to push stop or back in the browser, instead of waiting for the print dialog to pop-up and click cancel. -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

        I hate that. The print dlg shouldn't appear until i hit the "print" toolbar button. Now, if Chris wanted to do a "print media" CSS for CP...
