I have a newsletter that has a column on the right, created with an absolutely positioned div. It looks great on the screen, and prints perfectly under IE.
However, I've learned the hard way that Netscape 7.1 won't print the second page of an absolutely positioned div. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Also can someone tell me where to report this problem? Since Mozilla is Open Source, they might be willing to fix it. Seems like a bug to me.

Thanks, LindaIndeed you should check Mozilla's bugzilla for that and report it if it already isn't there. They definitely won't fix it if they don't know about it.
As far as a workaround, I'd open the main column up to full width and push that right div down to the end of the document for the print medium. ALA (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alistapart.com">http://www.alistapart.com</a><!-- m -->) has some nice print-related articles if you haven't had a chance to check them out yet.
