How do you add a page feed to HTML output?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 22.2005

I have generated a long report which displays via HTML. The users want to print the report (using regular browser printing function). They also want the printed report to start a new page at certain locations.

I haven’t the faintest idea how to force a page feed on an HTML page (truthfully, I haven’t any idea how to force a page feed from anywhere). Please tell me how.

Thanks in advance.

@JSchwarzauthorAug 23.2005 — Thanks, Charles. Good info, except for one thing: I don't know how to use this.

Here's what I've tried:

[CODE]<style type='text/css'>
.new {page-break-before}
</style>

<span class="new"> Title1 </span>
print out lots of info...
<span class="new"> Title2 </span>
Etc.[/CODE]
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Jeff

@jabezAug 24.2005 — You need to give some values to the page-*-* properties.

The page-*-* properties are:

page:

page-break-after:

page-break-before:

values for page-break-before and page-break-after properties are:

always

avoid

auto

left

right

Eg.

<style type='text/css'>

.new {

page-break-before: value

page: value

page-break-after: value

page-break-before: value

page-break-after: value

}

</style>

Depending on what you are trying to do, something like this might work:

<style type='text/css'>

.new {

page-break-before: avoid

}

</style>

<span class="new"> Title1 </span>

print out lots of info...

<span class="new"> Title2 </span>

Etc.

@JSchwarzauthorAug 24.2005 — Silly me. Of course it needs a value.

Thanks.
