How to print tables?

[Oskar]

Say you have a table containing rows enough to span two A4 pages. When I print in FF/Mac 3.6, IE7 & IE8 page two just comes out blank, the first page cutting the table off when there isn’t more space.

The specification says it can not break when using:

Code:

table { page-break-inside: avoid; }

But only Opera supports this feature. What to do?

5 years later and I still have the same problem.

I tried:

table, tr, td, th { page-break-inside: avoid; }

I even tried:

.noBreak{
display: block;
page-break-inside: avoid;
}

and

<tr>
<th><div class="noBreak">...</div></th>
<td><div class="noBreak">...</div></td>
</tr>

That didn’t work. I tried wrapping every tr in a tbody tag.
That didn’t work and it broke the zebra stripe.

Surely someone has solved this problem somewhere…
