Page breaks for printer

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 12.2005

Hello,

I want to control page breaks on the web-page.
I have header and a paragraph on my page. Is there any way that I could club them together for printing in such a way that either both come on same page. If at end of page, there is just enough space for header to fit, but not paragraph, then header should also go on next page.

I have header and paragraph in 2 consecutive rows of a table.

I tried page-break-after:avoid but thats not working. page-break-after/before:always is working, but ‘avoid’ is not.

Is there anything I have to install or point to in order to tell browser to use CSS2? I would be happy even if it starts working in IE 6.X.

Any help is highly appriciated. Have been trying this and reading about it on web since last 2/3 days.

Thanks,

_Uttara

@David_HarrisonDec 12.2005 — Surely you'd need to use this:page-break-inside:avoid;As opposed to page-break-after/before.

@UttaraauthorDec 12.2005 — I did try that. Thats not working for me.

for which tag should I specify page-break-inside:avoid?

I tried it for table, tr, td and didn't work.
