Hi all,

Can anybody help me in resolving this issue. The details are mentioned below.

I have a header and footer to be displayed on each page. I am rendering data in a table.
If rows in the table exceed a page , and continue on the next page , I want the table headers to be repeated on each of the page.

Example :

Currently this is happening:

Page Header

I have been having this same problem too. have tried several workarounds to do this, whats worse is that i have to get it to work in Google Chrome. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think this should work

       <cfdocumentitem type="header">
           <cfoutput>Header #ctr#</cfoutput>
       </cfdocumentitem>
       <cfdocumentitem type="footer">
           <cfoutput>Footer #ctr#</cfoutput>
       </cfdocumentitem>

Hi Dan ,

Thanks for your inputs.

This way wont work beacause , am displaying other text and table both, and the table will be diplayed based on some conditions. If the conditions are true , table will be diplayed , else not.

I missed to illustrate text in the example. The scenario is something like this :

Page Header

Text .........

Table [Displayed conditionaly]

Page Footer

Please suggest me some way to do this.
