Making a printer friendly page

[solus1]

I have a page with a large table it is a work schedule when it's printed it just breaks when the paper is full.
How do you force the printer to break and start a new page??

If you are into defining your page layout via CSS then media types defined in your CSS can make this very easy:

You can define specifically what prints and how it is layed out for printing.

thank you for the webpage in this subject but alas my supposed state of the art browser doesn't understand getElementById:mad: so I wrote a function with the document.all version and went around the @media for css

What browser is that? document.all is IE4 - hardly state of that art. Unless you're using another browser with support for the .all collection?

my browser is ie 5+ i use msn 8 but i don't think that has much to do with it then again i could be using the getElement incorrectly....
anyway i did get it to work...

You must be using getElementById incorrectly, it's supported in IE 5.0 and later (including MSN 8).

You are probably correct Roy if you could tell me where i might find some info on that... thanks
