well, not sure how this might work with different browsers and printers but you could do some measurements and see how much space a header takes up, and how much space each row in the table takes up to get some kind of function.
if you had 1.5 inches of "header" text/spacing for the table (ie not part of the table itself) and each row in the table was .5 inches itd be: TableSize=1.5+numrows*0.5 Then you could do a for loop w/ some math, keeping track of how much page you have left, seeing if you have enough room to print the next table on the page, or if you have to do a pagebreak first. Youd have to put in special code though in case a table was too long to fit on one page, or else you could end up in an infinite loop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 12:41 PM Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] JS or CSS Orphan no printing > The table won't be too long to fit on one page.
