IE6 Print failure

[Ward]

Hi All,

I am in the final stages of developing my site, or at least that is what I thought until I tried to print off a page in IE6. The IE "encountered a problem window" pops up and then the browser shuts down. The page prints fine in IE 5 and 5.5 as well as NS6 and 7 and Mozilla.

The offending page is here

Any ideas?

Hi!

I want to help you, but... where is the popup?

[Ward]

Hi,

It is not a pop up window, but the Microsoft error message, the one that asks if you want to send it to Microsoft. If you view the page in IE6 and hit print on the toolbar, you'll see.

First off, have a look at this validation report:

Hi John,

Yes there are errors here but as the pages are built on a template, you would have thought that the other pages for example the home page would also fail the print test, but it does not.

I looked that page with IE6 and I don't have any issue. Maybe that's "just" a service pack issue.

Hmm

Yes, I've seen this type of 'feature' on several pages on several browsers - it's not only IE, Opera 7.1(ish) used to have it quite regularly, Firebird 0.6 on a couple of occasions, IE I've just put down to, well, IE. Opera and Firebird I have no issues with at the moment.

If you have windiff or similar (Google for them) try comparing a file that works with one that doesn't to see just what the differences are - which is the way I'd start going about it. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm not much further help.

In response to Rae's suggestion, my IE is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 and that's one giving the failure.

Hi,

I'm just going to see if my IE6 is up to date, then I think that it will have to do with the php script within the body content. Thanks for the help.

Just checked mine and it's 6.0.2600.0000.xpclnt_qfe.021108-2107IS
