I have been developing a site using one of the standard templates that comes
with DW MX. It is call Halo Left Nav. It is a CSS page using multipule layers.
When every I use a browser to print any of thses pages, problems arise. IE 6
actualy crashes if I "print preview" the unmodified page. What can I do? I am
missing something here. I can't have a site that will allow the user to print
pages.

found it!

Note: There is currently an issue with the Halo sample designs in
Dreamweaver MX 2004 and printing in Internet Explorer 6. Printing a page
based on the Halo sample designs will cause Internet Explorer 6 to crash. If
you are using the Halo sample designs for pages that end users will need to
print, you need to make an adjustment to the link tag in the head of the
HTML page.

1.. Open sample_layout.html in Code view.
2.. Locate the following line of code within the head tags. It should be
on or around line eight.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css">

3.. Add media="screen" after the type="text/css" attribute as shown in the
line of code below.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="emx_nav_left.css" type="text/css"
media="screen">

This will keep Internet Explorer from crashing when the page is printed.

Thanks a bunch. I can't say enough how much I appreciate you taking the time
to help me out. Simple fix that saved me a lot of grief.

Macromedia's web site has a lot of great info on it. I just wish it was easier
to find this kind of thing. Every time I need some little tid bit of info, I
have to dig through a dozen tutorials to maybe find it. The tutorials are
great, but it takes forever to find specific things.
