I cant send email except through hotmail, but I need some advice.... I'm creating large variable sized tables and I need to try and solve two problems. These tables are printed out and I want the following from the HTML: 1) To be able to print the bgcolor of the table cell. Using <dtml-if sequence-even> and such to alternately color the rows. I want this to show in the print as well 2) To be able to tell the printer to have the column head at the top of each printed page. Are these things even remotley possible in HTML from zope? Perhaps I need to be exporting the html into Excel where it is formatted more to do this?

On some browsers to make the colors show up when you print you must change a setting in the browser. I know this is the case for IE 4 and greater. The option is in the tools/internet options menu on the advanced tab. Look for 'Print background colors and images'.

This will make it display correctly, but not necessarily print correctly. Printing is a browser setup issue. Some browsers simply do not support it. Opera, Konqueror, and purportedly some versions of MSIE will, but only at the cost of printing ALL backgrounds. I don't know about mozilla? I think netscape will not. Purely a client side issue.
2. Sorry, can't help you here. Sounds like you need a page break, and I don't think HTML has this.
In fact, there are elements of HTML 4 that do exactly what is desired; THEAD and TFOOT. I just don't know of any browsers that properly handle them, not even Opera. THEAD and TFOOT would also be vastly useful even on screen. It would make it possible to get rid of most FRAMEsets, and make bookmarks work again. Also, it would be really, really nice if every browser vendor would correctly implement Access Keys. Heck, it might even be nice if any vendor would! Jim Penny
