Using HTML to size pages for printing

using html to size pages for printing

I have a large table that runs over into another page when I print it.

Is there a way of using HTML or CSS to instruct the page to be a specified length so that the table will automagically end and re-start on the new page?

I am only familiar with HTML and CSS which is why I have specified these. If there is a way using another method I would like to know but in layman's terms please.

Thanks,

Hi Toritwo,

In theory you can, although it's a bit dodgy, due to CSS implementation into the browsers. You need to use Paged Media functions in CSS2.

[w3.org...] should give you the pertinant information.

Personally, I always try to create a "printer friendly" page that's setup for a standard printer, and cross my fingers... :)
