Let me start off by saying i am pretty new to html. I just created a website and for some reason when you go to one of the pages and hit print preview it just keeps counting up pages. It only happens on one page. It only happens in Internet Explorer and not in firefox. The page with the problem is www.integratedpeaksolutions.com/business.html

No idea, it's pretty weird. The question is, who's going to print preview your site anyway ?

Very strange!?

The code is pretty messy, but...

Line after line of code - result is - nothing. Pages are still counting.

Maybe "new" bug in IE, but answer is why it's happen

Actually some people have tried to print it and said that it would now and informed me about that problem. Some like to have a copy of it instead of having to read it all on the computer. Its weird it only happens on that one page. Not the others.

I haven't looked at the site. I have worked on problems (as we all have) that prove to show nothing wrong but the problem still exists. The best thing to do in this circumstances is to re-create your work.

Take a page that works ok. Copy it. replace the content with the content from the page that is NOT working. Save this new page as the one that isn't working. See if it works!

Most of the time this will fix things. Sometimes a page may contain errors that are somewhere that just can't be seen. Even with notepad, sometimes notepad puts characters into the page that cannot be seen by your eyes but somehow a browser picks it up and makes something go haywire.

I have retyped a section of html verbatim, exactly as it was and for some reason the code works. Can't explain exactly what is happening other than there must be something in there that we can't see...

Whenever this happens just try recreating the code that isn't working; even an entire page if that is what it takes.

Many times this may fix the problem.

Its like you have a ghost in your code! lol! I have looked at this and cant figure out why on earth it would do this. I thought maybe it could be a missing closing tag of some sort, but I didnt notice any. I am very interested to see how this one is solved. But if worse comes to worse, I think ChipJohns suggestion is the best bet.

Very strange, but solved!

When I remove narrow columns from left and right, in print preview I finally found only 3 pages (not endless, anymore).

Advice for blade 301:

You must rearrange Your header (even if You use tables for design, there's a better way to do it . For example insert image index_07.gif in third row of Your column). Do the same with menu ( 3 buttons).

And of course, move those narrow columns from both sides. They are useless!

Sounds like a print stylesheet is called for.

But why this happened?

There's no stylesheet at all. Only style2, 4, 5, 6,.....without fonts, borders, etc...
