Insert a "page break" into web page?

Report · Dec 11, 2006

Creating a certain set of pages for a client's site that will primarily be printed by the viewer. Client wants to be able to insert functional page break commands at critical spots in a page. Anybody got a sweet bit of code to do this simply and reliably?

Much appreciated --

Use CSS and the page-break-before/page-break-after styles?

i would suggest creating a second (if you already have one) style sheet to get all the pages on your site to have nice printed versions (I cleverly call mine print.css) and add one line of code to your html document's header:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" />

When a user selects the "Print" function from their web browser, your print.css file is substituted for the default stylesheet. The print.css file will be similar to your global stylesheet, but should contain the changes you wish to see on a printout. try googling print.css. *Note the atribute media is set to "print". my standard style sheet has media="screen".
