Hi, i’m having trouble with my print styles not being recognized in Netscape 7.2. Am I doing something wrong?

```auto
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/c/c01.css" title="Screen Style Sheet" media="screen" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/c/print.css" title="Print Style Sheet" media="print" />

```

In general i’m having the print styles completely ignored in all browsers except IE…specifically IE 5.2 seems to acknowledge the print styles. I’ve even copied the screen styles over to the print stylesheet just to make sure the code is being acknowledged and it seems to be completely ignored. I’ve tried removing the print style line all together and changing media=“screen” to media=“all” and am getting a lot better results…mainly that the print preview is acknowledging there is code pertaining to printing. However this solution won’t work very well because I need to create separate styles for printing. This project is past due and the client is complaining about the printing for good reason and i’m in a serious bind to figure this out. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this I would really appreciate it.

This is a long shot, but try taking out the title from your print stylesheet. You’re using regular stylesheets (declared for a certain media - e.g. screen or print) rather than alternate stylesheets. Regular stylesheets do not use a title since they always apply for their media. Alternate stylesheets, however, use the title tag to allow the user to make a better choice of what stylesheet s/he wants.
