[Mitul]

Hello friends,

I am getting stuck at a point in my project.

I would like to give functionality of print data from site. but there
is a problem is that if there are lots of data which takes multiple
pages to print then I need to show header that indicates coloum name at
top of each page so can any one help me how to do that.

the main problem is there are muliple line for each row so I could not
make condition depends on some fixed rows concept. So Please keep this
in mind.

First Page will prints as follow:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Name Address Date
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. XYZ abc abc abc 02/25/2006

4. XYZ abc abc abc 02/25/2006
abc abc abc
..

Page end

Second Page needs to print as follow:

See this page:

The only catch: it works only with IE5.5+ and Gecko, not with IE5 and
Opera.

Another approach would be generating a pdf document. This way, you
would have complete control over the layout.

Basically not possible because you can't control the user's system. You
have no idea what their printer properties are, their page size, any
font overrides in effect - and a whole bunch of other things.

If you need to control how something is printed more than just what the
browser's print button gives you, I suggest you create a PDF and let the
user download and print that.
