Here the problem is in that "discrete" keyword, that doesn't fare
well at all with HTML. You can't put anything that seems a
pagebreak on a HTML, the browser handles the print as it prefers.
The best you could do is try to estimate the lenght of the printed
page and put a lot of whitespace between a page and the next, but
given the variety of browsers, systems, and printers combinations,
you should have a lot of luck...
If you want to generate "M$ Access-like" reports, divided into
pages, you'll have to resort to a different formatting language. For
example, you can generate a downloadable .rtf file, or even a .pdf
one. It's a lot of work, but the result is guaranteed.
