Removing tables from survey layout is on the roadmap. I
don't think Xforms(not supported anywhere yet) nor the
overhead of XLT is needed. A simple print-media CSS
should be fine. Can someone send a link to one of the
surveys that fails to render/print?

I've now tested this on a number of browsers: firefox, ie,
camino, mozilla. I've also tried messing with word & pdfs
to no avail.
Given that printing of the example page (which explains the
css template) is also problematic and that lots of the css
resources on the web suggest that css doesn't handle tables
I'm led to believe that the solution to this problem
involves fundamental changes to phpesp formatting.
Specifically, based on my rudimentary understanding of css,
we will need to replace the table-structure with a
div-structure.
There is a great deal of discussion on this online and no
obvious answer. Perhaps the css model should be leapfrogged
in favour of xforms & xslt?

We need a print media CSS for surveys for this to work well.
Shouldn't be hard to come up with, if anyone is interested
in doing it.

I'm also experiencing this problem under a number of
stylesheets. In particular the table containing the
questions is invisible.
Is the solution part of the CSS coding or is there often a
problem printing these html elements?
