Sorry to shoot this down…..but you will have css issues when u do this if your table has borders……a heading typically spans accross columns……as soon as the second page is printed…..there will be not horizontal lines.

It’s almost impossible to really know how a html page will be printed accurately as each browser renders the page differently…..a way needs to be found to generate pdf reports without the need for a browser then u can deliver reports in a pdf format consistent for every user.

Unfortunately this normally requires learning a new reporting language…..like ireport….& then hoping somebody has made an integration with the particular web language you are using. Most dev’s just say “live with whatever it gives you”………it just takes too much time. Printing is every dev’s nightmare.

Kind Regards

Thanks a lot. This helped me today to make some sense of my printouts of a Qt table (using html to generate the printout) with 14 columns and hundreds of rows on 11″ x 17″ paper.

The header has a height limit, if it is more than 1/3 of your page height, it will only show in one page only and not at all pages.

What if you wanted the second and subsequent pages of the table to begin with “Table X.Y (cont.)”?
