Re: Has anyone come up yet with a trick to prevent breaking up tablerows (TR) while printing?

I have been reading a lot of archived threads about "page-break-
inside: avoid" not supported by IE5, IE6 IE55, IE7 and Firefox
(Mozilla), which creates a really unpleasant-looking printout with
broken table rows.

FWIW, Mozilla doesn't yet support page-break-*: avoid at all; Opera and
Safari print them (there ARE other browsers than IE & FF, you know).

I wonder if after all these years in discussion anyone had come up
with a trick using maybe some combination of "page-break-before",
"page-break-after" or div properties that would prevent the
situation.

The easiest trick is to switch to a browser that supports the
properties. Although I am a FF user myself, Opera and Safari have better
CSS support in most areas, including printing CSS support.

It's much more likely that our users will switch to another web site,
than we get them to change browsers for the sake of just printing our
content properly, I'm afraid.

Not just CSS -- Mozilla 1.7 had the nasty habit of breaking images
across pages, and FF 2 still does.

Mozilla 1.7? Obsolete browser from 2005. SeaMonkey is the up to date
version.

Perhaps you overlooked the rest of my statement, that Firefox 2 has
the same problem.

Firefox is currently at version 3.0. Also later versions of 2.x and my
latter versions of my SeaMonkey do not break across images. SeaMonkey
has the embedded mail client and I am always receiving emails with
pictures, haven't had a problem with broken images since, well Mozilla
1.7.x!

Now that said, websites that were designed by Absolute-Position-Freaks
present printing problems for all browsers...
