Topic awaiting preservation: page breaks (Page 1 of 1)

I have a loooong page made up of text and bar charts. I am trying to find a way to put a page break before a chart so it doesnt print half on one page and half on another. I found this w3c css info - is this the right direction?

I am not sure how elaborate I have to set up my style sheets (page margins, etc.). I know I need to use:

.pagebreak : {
page-break-after: always;
}

Am I on the right path?

Thanks.

I would assume so but I'm not sure it this is supported by IE -- Try printing a demo page and see for yourself, maybe the "auto" value might work better than the "always" one.

Hang on, what's the colon doing in the style rule after the .pagebreak : <- ??

Anyways, the w3schools page explains this css property fairly well: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_print_pageba.asp

Yup, colon was incorrect, I was typing so quickly . . . I found the solution which works.

p { page-break-before: always }

<p STYLE="page-break-before: always">test text in the paragraph</p>

I will probably want to substitute "table" for "p" since its the charts in the tables I want printed on one page.

Thanks!
