OK, we don't switch media. But when I press "print" or invoke the print method, a copy of the DOM is sent to the printer. If I have altered the DOM by adding elements or by changing the style property then I would like to be able to undo those changes before my DOM goes to the printer. It is not good enough to say that I should start messing about with classes and so forth or that it is bad practice to amend the style property directly. So long as I can do these things I want a way to undo them before my DOM is sent to a print device. -dean
