about page-break-before

[geotso]

Hi

I'm trying to apply the page-break-before attribute in a <h2> tag like this:
<h2.newpg>Title here</h2>
where:
..newpg { page-break-before:always;}

However,
1. In IE 6.0 while the heading (and the text below it) starts from the top
of the page2, the page1 text (as it isn't too much to cover the whole page)
starts from the middle of the page leaving a big blank space at the top.

2. MozFirebird 0.7 doesn't recognize the style at all and it returns the
whole text without the break.

3. Disappointed from the result I didn't try to test it in Navigator 7.x and
Opera 7 :)

(Tests done in winXP Pro environment)
Am I doing something wrong with the style, or what?

Thanks.

Looks fine? Have you specified the media-type somewhere? Make sure it is
on print it is not on all.

Yes

Out of date example that still works:

Sorry, my mistake! I corrected it.

where:
.newpg { page-break-before:always;}

the style is in an external stylesheet that I call like this:
<link href="../Styles/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print">

Yes

I'm going there right now, as the first two suggestions *don't* resolve my
problem :(

Unless the comments of the stylesheets are hidding something vital (I don't
know your language) there is nothing different with my page. I even changed
the style I use for the page-brake from a class to an ID as in your example
and yet the problem is still there. The only (obvious) difference I can see
is that your text is in DIV tags, while mine is in a table's cell.
Could this cause the problem?

Thanks again.

It's Dutch. Once I have time I will translate that test into English and
make it better.

Yes, certainly. You know that tables are not supposed to be used for layout?

just fancy!
I didn't even think of it...
Well, I'll try to re-design the page.

Thanks.

Hi!

When I want to print a long table, which dosen't fit on one
page IE adds one empty row on the end on each page.
This empty row is visible due to I need to have borders around
each <td> element. See examples:

http://ceti.pl/~kubik/template/example.html - a long table which I want
print

http://ceti.pl/~kubik/template/example.gif - printed table with visible
empty row
on the bottom
I tried with page-break styles but nothing works correctly...

Can anyone help me? I need to solve this problem, which occurs only
in MSIE. Other browsers print it fine.
