@media print problem: setting document horizontal doesn't work

#1

Dear list;
I am a css newbie, and hope you can help. I am trying to make my page
print out horizontal when user hits a print button in my page. the
print button invokes javascript print.window() function, equivalent to
selecting "print" on the browser menu. From what I understand, I
should be able to force horizontal printing, regardless of browser
default. I tried with:
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css" media=print>
{size: landscape}
</style>
</HEAD>
and

<style type=text/css >
@media print {
BODY { Size: 8.5in 11in landscape; Margin: 0.25in; }
}
</style>

both don't work, either IE or Netscape. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance,
Seriosly boggled Sonya

Nothing, but as far as I know, there's no browser there support
landscape.

Try Opera. It is the only browser that has made a serious attempt at
@media print styles.

But don't use those strange paper sizes -- most of the world doesn't use
the paper you use. Just say landscape, if that's what you want.
