Landscape printing from CDrom (Built in FP /html)

[Karin]

Hi,
Have been working with building an CDrom using FP. The pages are rather
wide, which means that when printing the document it is cut in half (both
when using Explorer printer as well as when using <a
HREF="javascript:window.print()">PRINT</a></span></font> ) . I would
therefore like to be sure that the user print the document in landscape. I
have searched and found that CSS can set landscape as default, however, only
when using Opera as the browser. Is this also the case when i do not tend to
publish the CDrom / website on the internet, but only locally on the CDrom.
If only Opera can work, how can i be sure that the user opens the CDrom in
the Opera browser (is it possible to ad this to the CDrom that will be
distributed?)
Or is there other good ideas?

Hope you can help me!

The abilility to set the page orientation in CSS has been dropped from the
latest version of CSS (v2.1) do to lack of support in browsers.

It is not supported by Internet Explorer 6 or earlier.

Best approach is to design the printable area of the page to be able to
squish into an area 640px wide (or less), and hide other areas from the
printer.
Alternatively, design a page specifically for printing that is only 640px
wide, and has no other content such as navigation.

Provide instructions to the user to set printing to landscape mode.
