64431 - Style Sheet entry to highlight printer friendly version links

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

Many web sites have printer friendly links. but finding them is not 
user friendly at all.

This enhancements requests a style that can recognize these links and make them 
easy for users to find them.

Ideally, this should work for:
newspapers sites (20) [ie: washington post, new york times, usa today, ...]
news zines (5) [salon, webmonkey, theregister, slashdot, ...]
official news (3) [ie: abcnews, nbcnews, cnn, ...]

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

What about "LeMonde.FR", "DerSpiegel.DE" and all the other international sites?  
We cannot hilite all the links that contain the words Print, Imprimer or 
DRUCKVERSION, nor the links that point to URLs with these words.

Ideally the feature would be implemented by the web sites as an alternate 
stylesheet (with or without a "@media print screen" rule).
