My goal is to find an HTML renderer that supports programmatic print/preview control.
I'm looking for such HTML renderer too.
IE + PrintTemplates is fine, it suports HTML tags in headers/footers but it still has some problems:
- on IE6 SP1 programatically changing page orientation does not work correctly
- can't force printing background images programatically
- there are so many versions of IE released, that it's nearly impossible to by sure, that my application will work on every client configuration. HTML renderer should be part of the application and installation of the application should have no impact on target OS. This can't by easily done with IE.
- there are some third party ActiveX controls, that can workaround some problems, but I think they do this the dirty way (and thus can't rely on them)
On the other side:
- gecko can set print settings programatically
- gecko can be delivered as part of application and HTML rendering will work regardless of the browser installed on target machine
but: - gecko doesn't support HTML code in headers/footer (as far as I know). - I'm not sure if it supports CSS Page-break-after property
Will gecko allow HTML tags in headers/footers in the future? Will it allow more control when paginating document for printing?
