Hi Ian,
I don't know how you are generating the reports, but might it not be
possible to use scripting, be it server or client side, to determine when a
new page starts. This would enable you to insert the header on each new
page, as well as increment a counter that you could use to dynamically
number the pages. You likely don't want this displayed, and you could get
around that problem by including a link to a version formatted for printing,
which has become something of a defacto standard for web sites that offer
documents as web pages.

Subject: [program-l] HTML: Printing
Hi All,
I want to present a number of identical reports as a continual HTML page
to make it easy to print them all off in one go. Each report will have a
basic header + body and I intend to use an IE tag to force a page break at
the end of each report. Reports will typically be less than a page but
could run to many pages in some cases. This is almost good enough and may
well suffice. However, the client has asked, reasonably enough, whether it
is possible to put the header information at the top of each page rather
than on the first page of each report and possibly also include a page
number.
I suspect it is possible to tell IE to put page numbers on each page when
printing a web page but this is no good. It would have to be relative to
the current report.
Does anyone know of any way that I can put the header at the top of each
page of the report to which it belongs?
Any thoughts gratefuly received as always.
Cheers
Ian
