Hi Ian,
I've just been having a look through the IE development section of MSDN. It
looks as though the Print Templates feature would do waht you want. This
feature is available in IE 5.5 and above.
You can find an introduction at:

and reference material at:

Hi Will,
I agree that in theory it should be possible to identify page boundaries.
This would almost certainly need to be done using client script as it
would depend on the size of the text in the browser window itself. I was
kind of hoping someone may have already done this or point me in the
direction of a solution!! It will be very messy!! Not somewhere I'd choose
to go myself!!
Cheers
Ian

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
