Printing and page breaks - 11/30/2001 20:09:00
Hi All,<P>Does anyone know how to insert a ' page break' in an asp page?<P>What I' m trying to do is build a results page that shows 13 results per page with a bunch of header info on each page. The submitting form is a dynamicly built form with up to 99 records each with 7 fields. I pass the info to the results page via POST. The printed ouput will fit about 13 per page comfortably. I do know about limiting the records displayed but I don' t want to have to do that ' cause I don' t want those prev-next things to print.<P>Possibly someone knows how to make those things non-printable? Maybe I should build an Excel sheet (or Word doc) and e-mail it? PDF maybe? Any suggestions???

E-mailing the results is always a nice option, you can then snag the mail address and Keep it for marketting purposes (naughty I know But hey were not here for fun)Most people create a printer friendly page. Use javascript to open a new window with a simple txt banner and contact info. and a print button then the results have a close button too. Thats what i would do T ------------------

Thats a nice suggestion, but it doesn't seem to address the problem. Also, the printed page needs to have some formatting, etc. to look correct - they will be reviewed and submitted elsewhere on paper.I can easily make the results show only 13 records per page or show header, then 13 records, then header, then 13 records, etc. That's not the problem - the problem is to get the page break in there. I guess I could build an e-mail for each group of (up to) 13 records....it just seems like there should be something better..... Boy, never any 'cookie cutter' projects... ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/wink.gif")

Use this code :<head>
<style>
@page { size: auto; margin: 5%; }
</style>
</head> Then at the break point : <p CLASS="page" align="center"> </p> ------------------

Spooky,
I understand your last post about the <style> but how do I determine where, in a database result, to put the CLASS part.
I'm responding to this thread cause this is something I've been trying to do also. I have several reports that don't break correctly when printed.
Thanks
Kevin

If you added the <style> already, you just put this code:
<p CLASS='page' align='center> </p>
Wherever you want the break. When I did it, I basically made sure all my tables were closed, pasted the code, then built the rest of the tables to the next page break, closed the tables, page break, etc.
