Hi Doug,
I use CSS extensively on my site "Carnivorous Plastic" and it is an
excellent way to set fonts, styles, colours, page set-up, margins, etc.,
etc. You'll notice that none of the links on my site have underlines and the
colours go a couple of shades lighter when you roll over them - all done
with Cascading Style Sheets.
I'm certainly no expert, but I have never seen CSS used as a way to print or
download files nor have I seen any tutorials mention these features. A good
primer on CSS is at: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/css-ref/ or try webmonkey:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/stylesheet_guide/ . The latter
has a good paragraph telling you what CSS is and what it does.
Perhaps a better method would be to zip large files and then just have a
link to the zipped file? Otherwise I think you would be looking at using
javascript (or any other object oriented scripting language i.e: asp, php)
as a way to print pages.
Hope that's of some use to you.
Cheers,
Andy Bannister
