About Titles
• Only AKC titles are recognised by the program, and they must be in appearance exactly how AKC would type them. Examples - CH not Ch., DC not DualCH etc...
• Do not use uppercase letters for the dogs name. Not only does capitalizing only the first letter look better but a lot of names start with CH, as an example, and the program might wrongly color the name.
• Use a blank space to separate the titles. Some people like to use a backslash in their titles, AFC/CH, or use commas, CD,JH. There are too many variations to test for them all. Please use blank spaces or I can't guarantee the right color assignments.
• In Version 2.0 I have added ability to handle non-AKC titles. You are limited to twenty each pre- and post- non-AKC abbreviations of up to ten characters in length. So, if you want to use Ch., DualCH, Canadian and other International titles you can with a little experimentation get the desired result.

About Color

• Color is specified by hexidecimal value. Programmers do this because we want to make users lives as difficult as possible. :) Use the web safe color values to ensure consistancy of exact color presentation across all browsers. I use "FFFFFF", white, for the default page background color and "000000", black, for the default text color. This is consistant with printing to paper.
• There is an order of preference in place when assigning color. I look for changes from black, "000000", in this order.
  The dog's name
  AKC titles apprearing before the dogs name
  AKC titles appearing after the dogs name
  An untitled dog
  

See Samples for an example.

About Printing
• Normally you would see a 3 generation pedigree printed in Landscape mode orientation. The "properties" button under the "Print" feature of the Netscape browser allows you to change it from the default orientation of Portrait. (Other browsers have similar capabilites, you will have to locate them yourself as I only have Netscape. Unfortuantely, not all Netscape browsers have the same print options. Some IE browsers do a good job too.)
• Your "Print Setup" also lets you specify top, bottom, left, and right margins. You can also disable the header and footer information here, i.e document title, URL, page numbering and date printed info.
• I do not specify Font styles or sizes, other than my use of relative size, in my HTML code. This will give you the flexibility to personalize the pedigree to suit your needs.

I suggest that you first set up for Landscape mode, and go into "Print Preview" and then interatively change the font and size to where it generally fits all on one page. Then go into "Print Setup" and adjust your margins to center the pedigree on the page before printing.
