Printing webpages

[Michael Schrading]

Hi,

My question is: How to print out to seperate pages but I have only one html
page?

Means, I have some tabels in one html pages which I would like to send to a
printer but in between this tables the Printer should load a new page. How
do I set in a command for loading a new page?

Thank you for help

CSS 2 lets you do stuff like this, but the CSS print stuff is only
properly supported in Opera 6+.

and my reply is:
The following worked on my printer with netscape.

test1<br>
<span style="page-break-before: always;"></span>
test2

Test 1 and 2 were on 2 pages.

print-page-before:always; works in IE as well.

Do you have an example URL for this, so we can see just whereabout that
mark-up fits into the overall page mark-up.

I hope so too It's however more interesting if someone points me to the
fact it's an invalid solution and offers a better one. I'm here to learn
too.

Ok, not trying to start an argument about editors so don't take it that
way.

The newest version of Dreamweaver, now has type ahead help for CSS. (MX
had type ahead help for HTML only)

This is better than any manual I have found for learning.

I type:
<style type="text/css">
h1 {

And it replys with a list of all the possibilities you can choose. I
click on "page-break-before"

Then it displays a list of all the possible choices I have (always,
auto, void inherit left right)

I find this more helpful that all the manuals in the world.

YMMV

Did you try TopStyle light? Does the same and is free
In practice it's often easier to do it by hand:
- Most of the times you copy and paste from an existing stylesheet
- You don't need most of the (hundreds of) (default) properties
- A clean white NotePad (or FrontPage screen is a blessing for the eye

Nope never tried it, but I find the type-ahead help to be an awesome
asset to ANY development tool.

But you learn nothing. Type-ahead help, in almost any application,
allows you to not only get the help you want, it also allows you to
quickly see all the other options to. Much like in music. When A
songwriter learns something new, (a new form of a chord, or a new
turnaround, what ever) They tend to instantly write a new song
incorporating what they just learned.

Type-ahead help is like that. It can quickly let you glance at what is
out there, if you learn something new, you will probably use it.

Man, 4 posts, and it is still civil.....

Wow, you are almost lyrical about the DW . Perhaps I should give it a
try.

I didn't write the HTML - it is generated through a Bridge Scoring program.
Print it out, and have a look.

You degenerate.

How boring.

The newest version of Dreamweaver, now has type ahead help for CSS. (MX

Does it use CSS instead of <font> tags now?
