does anyone know how to get ie 5 to print pages with page breaks?
at the moment we are using
<br clear="all" style=""page-break-before:always;">
this works in mozilla and ie 6

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/pagebreakbefore.aspRemarks
This property applies when printing the document. This property does not apply to the BR or HR elements.
If there are conflicts between the value of this property and the pageBreakAfter property of the object previously displayed in the browser, the value that results in the largest number of page breaks is used.
Page breaks are not permitted inside positioned objects.
try another block element like <p>

your a star
it seems strange that a) br's work in mozilla and ie6 and b) that they should not make it work on br's and hr's
maybe i can understand hr but ...
oh well - it works, thanks

development team: it works! and the best thing is we had nothing to do with it.

quality managment: yepp, passed all unit tests
documentation group: but it shouldn't..
someone else: we're already using it.
documentation group: but...
guess how this is going on
