Netscape v6.x and higher support page-break for printing. My shopping cart software inserts something like the following at the end of each order:

<div style="page-break-after:always;">Some footer text<br></div>

rainborick tnx for the reply :) what can i use for lower versions of Netscape for page-break printing?
how about for IE, does it support all versions?

Since paged media instructions were introduced with CSS2, older browsers simply don't support it. This includes all version 4 browsers and Explorer 5.0 as well. Explorer support began with version 5.5.

Here's a paged media support diagram [westciv.com] on westciv - I noticed in their chart that Netscape 6.0 did not support paged media. I believe the page is a bit old, and Netscape did introduce support in 6.2.

So what can you do to control page breaks on older browsers? Nothing I'm aware of except pains-taking trial and error to come up with HTML that "usually" breaks the way you prefer.
