[FX.php List] [off] CSS Print View

[Karstyn McCoy]

Hey Joel,

--- can you load the print.css file directly in the browser? <
xxxx.triple8.net/css/styles_print.css>
Yes

--- could you be testing on a development server that does *not* have the
correct print.css file (i.e. in which your base_url is different than
xxx.triple8.net)?
No - only one server involved

--- is base_url a function you've written?  Why are there parens after it:
base_url() ?
I did not write it, I'm tweaking a site written by others using the
Codeigniter framework. The function is working in a lot of places, including
this page.

and now
--- if you switch "screen" and "print" in your two stylesheet links do you
see the *print* css on-screen?
NO!! the page looks unstyled - not sure why that would be, but definitely
points to a problem somewhere
