Page Break Script - 6/13/2002 10:55:17
Does anyone know if it is possible to have a script automatically create page breaks in a long html document that contains tables and photos, so that when printing one page or the entire document, the photos and/or a line of text is not split in two.
I know how to manually insert the page-break tag but this will need to generate correct printing pages based on what is selected, or the entire document.

The following code will force a pagebreak in CSS2:
<P style="page-break-after: always">
You may want to look into this attribute because there is more to it...

Yes it is possible. I do it on a form results for a census form that gets emailed. Each page holds 13 clients. The relevant portion of the page I use looks something like:
'-------------------- Build pages recursively
FOR pageNumber = 1 to totalPages
'-------------------- Display user info on each page
strText = strText & "<p CLASS='page' align='center> </p>" & vbcrlf & "<p align='right'><font face='Arial' size='2'>Page # " & pageNumber & "</font></p>" & vbcrlf
strText = strText & "<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='4'>Group Census<br>Confidential List of All Eligible Employees</font></p>" & vbcrlf
strText = strText & userInfoTable & "<br>"
'-------------------- Begin employee info table
strText = strText & "<div align='left'><table border='1' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0' width='895' columns='10'>" & vbcrlf
'-------------------- Display table header
strText = strText & tableHeader
'-------------------- Build table of employees by retrieving array items
FOR e = 0 to 12
f = (((pageNumber - 1) * 13) + e)
IF f <= upper THEN
strText = strText & arrEmployees(f)
ELSE
END IF
NEXT
strText = strText & "</table></div>" & vbcrlf
'-------------------- Next page
NEXT
and I had a line like this in my <style> section:
p.page { page-break-before: always }
(I just break before instead of after for personal preference ) The full code of the page can be seen here:
http://www.clarkinsurance.com/cdonts_example.htm
but the whole page is primarily a CDONTS script to send HTML mail. It gets a little involved using arrays and such, but the code showing the recursive use of the page break is above.
Any help???

quote:
<P style="page-break-after: always">
do you need anything else? I stuck that in my code where I wanted the page break to oocur, but nothing. It just printed past that point until the page filled up and overflowed to the next page.

I found these on MozillaZine Forums. Finally, something that worked for me on Firefox and IE. Not sure why the others worked in IE but not Mozilla.
This works:
<p>
...
</p>
<br style="page-break-before: always;" clear="all" />
This works:
<div>
...
</div>
<p><br style="page-break-before: always;" clear="all" /></p>
And this works:
<div>
...
</div>
<br style="page-break-after: always;" clear="all" />
