Printer Friendly Output

I am supporting printer friendly output with links to
dedicated pages (CSS doesn't work for my environment.)
How can I issue "page breaks" for the printer to achieve a
preferable output?

By using CSS. pagebreak.before: always
Only works with blocklevel tags.

Site uses "shared borders" which can't be eliminated with
CSS. At least that's my finding.

Why will CSS not work in the visitors browser?

Use CSS to insert pagebreaks

By using @media you can create a page with shared borders that will not be a part of the printed page.

Works fine. When you tested, you probably forgot that it only works in
blocklevel tags.

Re: Printer Friendly OutputYIKES - I was partly right! The correct syntax
is page-break-before:always, and it works as you describe in IE6/FF0.8 on
the PC - I didn't test on the Mac.

You can try here -

<html>
<head>
<title>CodeAve.com/CSS - Page Break</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<center>
Page 1
<br style="page-break-before:always;">
Page 2
<br style="page-break-after:always;">
Page 3
<p>
Use print preview on your browser to see how<br>
this page would print out to three pages
</center>
</body>
</html>
