I am interested in making a page printer friendly. What units should I use and are they going to be affected by different screen resolutions?
You can accomplish this by attaching two different style sheets: One set for screen and one set for print:
<html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" /> </head> <body> <p>Stuff here!</p> </body> </html>
