Table element borders not printing over page break???

Gentlemen;

We have a page that is dynamically generated with nested tables. The innermost table uses the FRAME=vsides attribute which when displayed looks exactly as we want it to. We've also included a PRINT button on the page which simply calls the Javascript:window.print() function. This too works. HOWEVER, when it prints, the first page prints exactly as viewed, but when the page is broken to continue on the 2nd page, the vertical lines are missing. If there's a break in the middle of the printed page followed by another similar table, the vertical lines start printing again but, if that page continues on the next printed page, the verticle lines are missing again.

We've played with and researched this issue every which way we can think of.

Has anyone a clue as to why this occurs or what we might be able to do to overcome it?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
 
never even heard of this attribute.

have you tried css yet?
<style>
.inner td {
border:solid black;
border-width:0px 1px 0px 1px;
}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td>foo</td>
<td>
<table class=&quot;inner&quot;>
<tr>
<td>inner</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
