Printable View
Using Firefox I've manage to display column headings for the Catalog List view using custom CSS code:
content: "Species____No.__Type______Spotter____Date Spotted"
but it's not perfect. Similarly to display "No. items found:" at the top before the count.

But this doesn't work in IE and the column alignment gets out of sync when the page is zoomed.
Any suggestions for another solution?
Many thanks
How did you make the HTML template for the list? Is it in a table or did you use divs? Looking at your example, It looks like the latter. Tables aren't good for a lot of things, but they can't be beat for tabular data. If not then can you post your template code and css?
I'm using catalog extension which builds the list for me. I was using catalog_simple but your email reminded me that there is catalog_simpletable that generates a table (rather than css).Quote:

Thanks for the prompt
You can easily set the width of the table columns using css as each column is classed with the field name already. If you use firebug (everyone should ;) ) it makes all this a breeze.
Thanks Harley. Sounds very useful... just installed but doesn't seem to be functioning! I shall investigate more.Quote:
