Applying "page-break-before" to a table row (tr)
According to W3.org, the style page-break-after applies to block level elements (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/page.html#page-break-props)
<tr> is a block level element (according to this: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/block.html, it is)
I'm doing this, but the page break is not creating an actual page break when printing:
<table>
<tr><td>blah</td></tr>
<tr><td>blah</td></tr>
<tr style="page-break-after: always"><td>blah</td></tr>
<tr><td>blah</td></tr>
</table>
Am I doing this the correct way?
If <tr> wasn't a block level element: how am I suppose to achieve this page break?
Note: the before code is just an example, but what I'm trying to do is to put a page-break every 5 rows of the table, so if you know any tips for that case, will be appreciated
Answer
Inside <head>, set this style in your CSS stylesheet
<head>
<style>
@media print {
tr.page-break { display: block; page-break-before: always; }
}
</style>
</head>
That way, it will produce a page break during printing right before this table row.
<tr class="page-break">
</tr>
