Topic: Page Breaks (Page 1 of 1)

Bit of an odd-ball here - can't find an answer anywhere (at least via the usual channels).

Does anyone know if it's possible to insert 'Page Breaks' in an HTML document - (visible when printing)?

In advance, many thanks.

Now that's an interesting one.

I'd love to know the answer myself.

It's a bugger.

I'm having to create tables which are just short of page height, and build content inside them.
Not pretty, but kinda works.

Dufty: Its not highly supported but:

[edit: Ooops forgot the vital one:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html#page-breaks

have a read through and check the CSS compatibility charts to see if it is worth your while]

I think the point is that you are trying to impose something inappropriate to the medium and all solutions won't be satisfactory. Using the above you can stop it breaking the page in the middle of certain elements but you can't define exact page breaks as you would in other media.

If as a user you want to define them then:
