dhinakar,

Did solution for your previous problem works?

If so, please close thread

And if the previous solution works, then the same technique may be applied to current one: CSS stylesheet that uses print profile. See <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-print/">W3C Print Profile doc</a>, section 8.4.

dhinakar,

The were section starting with @page in stylesheet. This is what you need. See http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/print.html for samples.

However, currently only Mozilla seems to have support for this.

For IE please try "Print Templates":

http://www.webreference.com/js/column89/

http://www.webreference.com/js/column91/

http://www.webreference.com/js/column92/

http://www.webreference.com/js/column93/

http://www.webreference.com/js/column94/

http://www.webreference.com/js/column95/

dhinakar,

Seems that your task even simpler

At least, table header / footer is repeated without CSS.

For this try to Create table like:


<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Header1</th>
      <th>Header2</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>data1</td>
      <td>data2</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <th>Footer1</th>
      <th>Footer2</th>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

AFAIK, browsers repeat THEAD / TFOOT on every page when printing tables.

Hi,

If you want the <thead> and <tfoot> to repeat at every new page, then your xsl should give you a html like

<div>

<table>

<thead/>

<tbody>

<tr><td/></tr>

</tbody>

<tfoot/>

</table>

</div>

<div>

<table>

<thead/>

<tbody>

<tr><td/></tr>

</tbody>

<tfoot/>

</table>

</div>

...

Then you can add a style attribute like

<style type="text/css">

div{

page-break-before : always

}

</style>

What browser are you using? IE?

Please try the same with Mozilla / Firefox.

Probably it is necessary to add some IE-specific workarounds...

Hi,

Actually it's working but you have only one div. You need to repeat the div tags. Inside each div you need to have this structure:

<table>

<thead/>

<tbody>

<tr><td/></tr>

</tbody>

<tfoot/>

</table>

So you will need to modify your xsl file. Can you share a sample xml file that you are using. I can give you the xsl.

Hi,

To implement what you want, you will need to design a "Print Template".

I haven't worked with print templates but I know that if you want to redirect custom print headers and footers, you will need print templates.

This template can be designed in javascript.

That's all I can tell you about this.

Satyajit.

Hi,

The page header and footer are browser specific settings (File->Page Setup).

I am sorry to say this, but you cannot change these settings through code. Only option is to do it manually.

I tried out a few options in your xsl, but sadly it didn't work.

Regards,

Satyajit.
