Urgent: Page Breaks in a HTML text

[Thierry Vermeersch]

My problem is the following:

I have setup an Intranet site but a few users refuse to use this system.
Let's not debate about this attitude....

Anyway, they wish to print the file from IE, but in some case the pages are
broken in the middle of a paragraph or even a picture.

Is there a way to prevent this, by inserting page breaks or by setting tags
in the HTML code?

Thanks to all.

Try using the CSS2 media type "PRINT"

@media print {
BODY { background: white; color: black }
P { font-family: arial }
}

If you do something like this you might be able to find a way to change the
output when you print.

I'm not sure about this, but wasn't there some kind of a property in the
CSS2 that allows to insert page breaks before and/or after certain element
(H2.NewSection, for example)?

There is. Browser support is still limited, but in the questioner's
situation it might work well (though depending on IE version).

To get useful information, especially if it is an urgent matter, it is
more constructive to check available FAQs (even
http://www.htmlhelp.com/faq/html/ contains a short entry about page
breaks) and references than to post a question to a plethora of
newsgroups (and wrong groups usually).

For style sheet information, http://css.nu/pointers/ is a widely
praised list of resources.
