I am using codeigniter and dompdf to generate a pdf document.
the document is generated with a foreach loop. each loop creates a few table rows. I want to have a pagebreak between the rows of each loop.
my relevent codeigniter view syntax is:
<table width=100%>
<?php foreach($summary as $summary){ ?>
<tr class="firstrow">
<td colspan="10">
<?php echo "<b>Customer</b>: <font color='blue'>".$summary->caccountname; ?>
<?php echo "</font> <b>Order Number</b>: <font color='blue'>".$summary->OrderNum; ?>
<?php echo "</font> <b>Sales rep</b>: <font color='blue'>".$summary->RepName; ?>
<?php echo "</font> <b>Due Date</b>: <font color='blue'>".substr($summary->DueDate,0,10); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="10"><hr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="10">
<table class="sortable" width="90%">
<tr><td ><b>Product</td><td ><b>Ordered</td><td ><b>Processed</td><td ><b>Outstanding</td><td ><b>Dispatched</td><td ><b>Available (incl FJ)</td><td ><b>Available FJ</td></tr>
<?php foreach($$linedetails as $linedetails){ ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->Product; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->cubicvolume; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->Processed; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->Outstanding; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->Dispatched; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->TotalVolume; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $linedetails->FJVolume; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
I have given the first tr a class of firstrow
, I would like a page break to appear before this line every time.
As such I have applied the following style sheet in my page header:
<style>
@media print
{
.firstrow {page-break-before:always}
}
</style>
This doesnt work.
How can I acheive my desired result of placeing a page break before each loop firstrow
TR?
Thanks as always
To make Pagebreak work with tr
, write a line of css for tr
tr { page-break-inside:avoid; page-break-after:auto }
Try above code.
If not working, then add
table { page-break-inside:auto }
