I have been reading a lot of archived threads about "page-break-
inside: avoid" not supported by IE5, IE6 IE55, IE7 and Firefox
(Mozilla), which creates a really unpleasant-looking printout with
broken table rows.
I wonder if after all these years in discussion anyone had come up
with a trick using maybe some combination of "page-break-before",
"page-break-after" or div properties that would prevent the
situation.
Our clients use various browsers with various environments, so it's
unlikely that spooling a PDF or some other funky format could help us.
We would really like to determine the HTML/DHTML/JavaScript solution.
Maybe even not using tables, but div or paragraph elements - something
that won't be page-broken for sure.

FWIW, Mozilla doesn't yet support page-break-*: avoid at all; Opera and
Safari print them (there ARE other browsers than IE & FF, you know).

The easiest trick is to switch to a browser that supports the
properties. Although I am a FF user myself, Opera and Safari have better
CSS support in most areas, including printing CSS support.

It's much more likely that our users will switch to another web site,
than we get them to change browsers for the sake of just printing our
content properly, I'm afraid.

Not just CSS -- Mozilla 1.7 had the nasty habit of breaking images
across pages, and FF 2 still does.
Mozilla 1.7? Obsolete browser from 2005. SeaMonkey is the up to date
version.

Perhaps you overlooked the rest of my statement, that Firefox 2 has
the same problem.
Firefox is currently at version 3.0. Also later versions of 2.x and my
latter versions of my SeaMonkey do not break across images. SeaMonkey
has the embedded mail client and I am always receiving emails with
pictures, haven't had a problem with broken images since, well Mozilla
1.7.x!
Now that said, websites that were designed by Absolute-Position-Freaks
present printing problems for all browsers...

What do you want to happen when a table is too long to fit on a piece of
paper?
Also, I'm not having any problems with printing of tables in SeaMonkey
or Firefox.
It would help to post a URL and describe what unwanted action is
happening when printing the page.

I would want such table to be broken along the TR lines, meaning that
a page break should not occur inside a table row or (if an alternative
to a table is chosen) inside a block of information.
I'll see if I can set a sample somewhere, since I'm pretty sure
Firefox tears table rows (just checked on my browser v2.0).

I want to make sure that a table row or a block of information, if
tables are not used, is not torn by a page break when printing.
I just verified with Firefox 2.0, it does that.
I'll see if I can put an example somewhere... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
