Printing Cell Borders

[Jeff North]

I'm trying to print a tables' cell/row but when a cell/row is split
across 2 pages the cell bottom/top border doesn't print on either
page. Like this:
+--------+-----------------------------+
| | |

page break

| | |
+--------+-----------------------------+

What I would like is this:
+--------+-----------------------------+
| | |
+--------+-----------------------------+

page break

+--------+-----------------------------+
| | |
+--------+-----------------------------+

Does anybody know of the 'trick' to do this either in CSS or HTML
properties?

So you want borders to appear *inside* your TD elements? I don't think that
is possible.

However, in CSS2 you could try preventing page breaks inside TD elements by
adding

TD { page-break-inside: avoid }

to your stylesheet. But I have no idea how many browsers support this.

Opera 5+. Pretty much nothing else.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried that but some of the cells are quite large. This means that a
page can appear almost empty because the next cell/row might be one or
two lines too long for the current page.
