Hi Patrick
That is exactly what I was thinking of. Do you know what the support is for
this statement?
I was thinking of using it to keep a legal disclaimer from being split
between two pages. I've just had other things to deal with before working
with it more.
Does this answer the original question about cropping?

The selector would depend on the structure of the actual HTML, but
assuming you have something like
<body>
...
<div id="content">
...
<div>
</div>
...
<div>
</div>
...
</div>
...
</body>
and you wanted to avoid breaks within the child divs of #content, you
could probably have something like
#content div { page-break-inside: avoid; }
or, more generally if you want to avoid any breaks of any elements (which
could be dangerous, depending on how long the individual elements are)
#content * { page-break-inside: avoid; }
Not tested this, by the way...so I may be talking absolute bobbins ;)
