Why is Firefox not able to print a page using ASP Classic?

EDIT: solution: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192129 (overflow: hidden; is the culprit)

I'm re-designing a page which utilizes some server-side ASP Classic, and it seems that Firefix is the only browser which "chokes" on the ASP code while printing. In other words, when printing a page which flows onto multiple pages, Firefox never gets any farther than Page 1, whereas other browsers continue printing as expected until that page is finished.

Thanks for the input, the-edmeister; you put me on the right track to getting closer to a solution!

Your link led me here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192129

Turns out that the problem is tied to declaring 'overflow: hidden;' on certain divs, and doesn't have anything to do with active server pages at all :)

That particular problem with "overflow:hidden" is fixed for Firefox 4, but it doesn't look like the "fix" is going to be backported to Firefox 3.6.x versions.

only took like 9 years to get it fixed
