Pagebreaks where User wants them

[AndyGroom]

I've got an HTML document consisting of a number of tables of varying height. When the document is printed, tables invariably end up starting on one page and finishing on the next. I don't want a pagebreak after every table as some might only have a few lines and it might be possible to get five or six tables on a page before a break is necessary.

If I placed a tickbox after each table which the user could tick if they wanted a pagebreak at that point, how do I then 'convert' the ticked boxes into pagebreaks? Or - dream scenario - is it possible to automatically pagebreak so that tables never get split up if they don't fit on a page?

Hi

Had you read up on [tt]page-break-inside[/tt] ?

table [teal]{[/teal]
  [COLOR=coral]page-break-inside:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]avoid[/color];
[teal]}[/teal]

The [tt]checkbox[/tt]-based page break toggling should change the [tt]previousSibling[/tt] [tt]table[/tt]'s above mentioned CSS property. A JavaScript framework would be helpful in this. Are you using one ?
