css print problems

I think I understand. Thanks.

Clearly, I need to do better with my menu. I do agree that this menu is not
the best it could be.

How hackable are the PVII menus? Since I don't use DW on this particular
site, and since this menu is so ASP-driven, I assumed that the ones you have
wouldn't be workable for me. But if I am going to have to keep hacking
anyway, I should at least ask you how easy it would be to do so with the
PVII menus.

I'm afraid whoever wrote that script is not ID'ing the elements he is
creating. That's very bad form, but so long as you make sure you do not
use DIV tags anywhere else on the page, you can simply do this in your
print style sheet:

div {display: none;}

If you add DIVs of your own, each one will need to go in the print css
after the above rule, to counteract it, like this:

#myDiv {display: block !important;}

No, I am not. It's kind of hard to tell. Heck, in that print.css, I
put
everything in there that I could and set it to display:none
!important;

Guess I'll keep digging, cause I agree with you that this is the
problem. I
have to find all the selectors names used in that menu.

Are you sure you have found the right selector(s)?

It will override what's being set in the script - hopefully.

The PVII menus are completely open HTML (other than the js that drives the
basic behaviors).
