Hello,
I publish some web pages using large fonts and would like to give the
user the opportunity to print the pages using a smaller font.
I believe that this is possible using different style sheets? I am not
clear how the user would select the different .css files?
Seems to be easier than having duplicate html files ...
Appreciate any help!
Cheers
Geoff

There is no need for you to select a different CSS file, rather specify
the media in the <link> element
<link rel="stylesheet " media="screen" type="text/css" href="screen.cs s">
<link rel="stylesheet " media="print" type="text/css" href="print.css ">

Martin,
I'm a little lost here! I have added the above 2 lines using my 2
different .css files but when I go for print from the browser the
larger font text is printed ... Am I missing something here?!
Cheers

I don't see anything wrong with the suggested lines.
Which browser are you using? Browsers like IE6/Win, Netscape 7 or Opera
7 should certainly support the stylesheet for print media, older
browsers like Netscape 4 don't support that.

For each element in the screen css, you must have a corresponding element
in the print css, with a smaller size specified, at least for the elements
you want to be different.
h1 { font-size: 160%; } in the screen css
h1 { font-size: 140%; } in the print css

If you mean that you specify a font size for BODY - don't do that!

Just let the reader decide about typeface and font size for BODY.

Those lines go into your HTML document, in the head section. Instead of
one stylesheet link, you're providing alternatives.
Alternatively, you could reference one style sheet in your HTML, and use
@ rules inside it, to do sections for different types of media.
A visit to the CSS specifications webpages would help you.

Andreas,
the point here is that the person who is paying me wished the pages to
be made like this...they are to be read by some people with visual
impairment and I guess not all would be aware of how to change the
font themselves?

Tim,
I will follow this up. Thanks.
If I wish to allow the user to select which font size to print in, I
will need to provide a duplicate html page in the different font size?
css cannot cover this?

To deal with the problem of differing user screen resolutions, I've
