Default Forced page breaks for printing - 01-23-2004 , 03:46 PM






OS is XP, I'm running Dreamweaver MX2004

I don't know much at all about css. I have a page at http://westsidestadium.org/content/dictionary.html (untitled document)
which I created in simple html. I understand it is impossible to use html to force page break for visiting browser when printing page, but that there is a IE compliant css. Can I add a simple strand of css into an otherwise html document? How would this code look and work? Where exactly would I place it on the page?

Thanks!

But you shouldn't expect this to work reliably....

Thanks, Blair and Murray!

Blair, I take it I drop this tag in where I want page break to occur? Do I then have to un-do the tag?

I hear you, Murray! If I can get it to work on one IE, I'll be happy!
