[css-d] Paged Media -- page-break-(before|after|inside)

[Wellington Fan]

Hello Listfolk,

When printing this page: http://www.illuminoid.com/print/ the page breaks
often appear inside of the tables. I would like to gently suggest to my
browser ( Firefox 2.0.0.14, WinXP Pro ), and to others that will listen, to
keep the contents of the tables together.

I have tried the docs:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html#break-insidewith no success...

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Firefox doesn't support 'page-break-inside: avoid' yet -- not even FF3 ;-(

I would leave the 'page-break-inside: avoid' in the source (someday, hopefully 
soon, browsers will do the right thing with it).  But for now, I'm afraid 
you're stuck with either living with the unfortunate break inside the tables, 
and waiting for browsers to catch up, or forcing a page break before the 
tables.  (Something like:
table {page-break-before: always;}
...which doesn't look all that desirable for your page, either.)

Best wishes,

Melinda

That's great news! Oh no, wait, the opposite...sigh...

Well thanks for the answer,  Melinda. I guess for this project I might have
to look at generating a PDF...sigh...
