Hello!
I’ve got a problem trying to format a very long table that contains many rows of information for printing. Using IE6, I added a \ at the top of the table, with the style tag display: table-header-group and this results in the table printing across each page with the header rows added to each page.
However, the top and bottom borders NEVER print properly - I think because it breaks the page in the middle of the bottom cell of each page. How can I get it to print the border across the top and bottom of the table on each page?? I played around with ridiculously thick borders / adjusting the border etc… but it didn’t work. I also tried applying a page-break-inside: avoid style to each \, but either IE6 won’t recognise that, or as the W3C spec says it shouldn’t be used inside tables.
Any help really appreciated! Thanks
George 🙂
