bug 543 - no window.print() in Safari on the iPad

Issue: #543
Affects: Safari on the iPad

Printing web pages is very common when you just want to be able to hold something physically in your hands or take home with you after work to read when you have time.

With Safari on the iPad - there isn't a print option, and likewise there is no

window.print();

method implementation in the iPad version of Safari.

With any luck this won't be an issue for most users as they can surf and read the online content wherever they want... but if you were hoping to scribble notes, correct content or go to town with your rainbow array of highlighters you are out of luck.

bug 444 - IE8 printing issues in standards mode

Issue: #444
Affects: IE8

MSIE Feedback ID: 431489

IE8 has a new bug with printing. When you change a checkbox or radio button on a page either by clicking it or calling some JavaScript function to toggle it - it looks like it changed but if you try to print it, it won't print in the new state.

In fact it won't even show up correctly in the print preview window!

According to sources at Microsoft there is no intention of fixing this until IE9!

The best part is that this ONLY occurs in Standards Mode. If you render your pages in the Legacy IE7 Mode the checkboxes and radio buttons print (and preview) properly.
