Print sheets
Gary Finnigan
for use in a website.
However when I click on the link the invokes the sheet it still prints
everything on the page, but not how it is laid out on the page.
To see it not work go to www.clickatdepaul.org/test/tester.htm
I would appreciate comments on it.

Your style sheets are all marked as being for media="screen,
projection" therefore they should not be used when printing.
You also have a syntax error in your main stylesheet.
http://www.clickatdepaul.org/test/test.css
It starts:
@media screen
a:link {
To use @media you should enclose all the styles for that media inside
{}.
@media screen {
a:link {styles}
selecter {styles}
} /* end of screen media styles */
Why are you putting an @media screen section inside a stylesheet that
is marked as being media="screen projection"? Are you trying to mark
some styles as being only for screen and not for projection?
There are other syntax errors as well:

Instead of this:
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test3.css"
title="print" media="screen" />
Use this:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="test3.css" media="print" />

You've already been told that you need to correctly label your style
sheets. However, you haven't been told that the style sheet switcher
you're using is badly written. Moreover, the system in general is not
intuitive. When I was using it in Opera, I refreshed the page expecting to
get the original layout back after viewing the print version, and I did.
When I tried the same in IE, I did not. The solution was to change the
text size, which is not at all related to reverting from a printing layout.
