    MSIE crashes, can't figure out why

    BruceCSI2 Community Member
      I just created a page containing just html and css, but every time I try to print it from MSIE, the browser crashes. I can print other pages I created the same way and none of them crash the browser. I'm not running any scripts on the page, so this is really confusing. Can anyone help me out?
      Oh, and this is on a company Intranet, behind a firewall, so I can't post a link to it.

          Could be a CLASS or ID name you're using.
          Can you post a list of the selctors used in your sheet?

            I removed everything between my style tags and it printed okay, so it must be something in the CSS. Here's the code:
            body {
            text-align:center;
            margin:0 auto;
            background-color:#fff;
            font-size:62.5%;
            }
            /* These tags define the text, and p, h1, h2 and h3 all mean the same in CSS as in HTML */
            /* Paragraph or standard text */
            p {
            font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
            font-size:1.1em;
            color:#000;
            }
            /* headline 1, used for section titles such as Industry Insights, Business Bytes, etc */
            h1 {
            font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
            font-size:2.5em;
            color:#369;
            font-weight:bold;
            margin-top:10px;
            }
            /* headline 2, used for the red sub headlines */
            h2 {
            font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
            font-weight:bold;
            font-variant:small-caps;
            font-size:1.1em;
            color:#cc0000;
            margin-top:0px;
            }
            /* headline 3, used for the "blurbs" in the right hand column */
            h3 {
            font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

              Yes, try to get rid of *attribute*, I'm pretty sure that's your problem

                The only other thing I can figure is it's the doctype. Here's what I have:

                <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
                <html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
                <head>
                <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
                <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />


                Should I have something else?

                    Yes, I got rid of attribute and it still crashes. I've gone through the entire page and removed each div one at a time and printed okay, until I get to the last div and then it crashes. However, if I take the code from that div and put it on its own page it prints! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

                      But did you *remove* the rule from the styles sheet too?

                        Okay, if I remove the rule:
                        #sitecredits {
                        margin-top:10px;

                        margin-right:0px;
                        width:100%;
                        background-image:url(graphics/tosbg.gif);
                        }
                        the page prints fine, but I can't see anything in it that would make the browser crash during printing. Can you see anything?

                          Do you have a good reason for having the float property in there?
                          If you don't, then see if removing it fixes your printing issue.

                            I used to get this when I used asp to conditionally show parts of the
                            page. The way around it was to have a separate style sheet for print,
                            which hid the parts that were causing problems.
