Printing Labels using CSS with Floated List

I'm trying to re-make an existing ASP.Net page which generates labels. The original uses hideous tables-within tables-within tables to force a layout, and as our order quantity has increased it's now got to the point where it's spitting out 65k lines of HTML assuming it doesn't time out first.

I've replaced it with an unordered list for my list of lables, with each list item floated, and the on-screen layout is now perfect. For print, it's 4 labels per page, one in each corner.

However, at least in IE-land, go to print prev开发者_如何学Ciew and it goes back to being a vertical list.

Any thoughts?

make sure you are using a float:... in your css of li class it will fix it :)

Let me know if that helps

Changed from UL/LI elements to the ubiquitous DIV, and placed every set of 4 inside a container which did the job. Still none the wiser about why FireFox, Chrome and IE all ignored float:left in print though, but it's working now.
