This is not a question, it is more of a statement of a Print Preview issue in Firefox 4.01 and 3.6.

When using min-height styling on a webpage, if an element (any element) extends beyond one page while using print-preview, then the element stretches AGAIN to that min-height on the second page.. In other words, min-height is re-applied, even though the element may already be that greater than that min-height.

You could probably use media="print" and a separate print.css file to get around that issue.

Haha, Mr. Smarty Pants, that is pretty much exactly what we ended up doing :) Very quick answer, though, nice stuff. It took us about a half hour so of testing to find out what was causing this issue though... we couldn't figure out why the table was extending so far until I did a print screenshot and measured it in Paint and was able to connect the dots.

(edit) Preferably, rather than doing special, kooky css that i hope looks right, maybe Firefox can fix this.. I probably should have pushed this somewhere else.. it was just difficult for me to find the bug submit area.
