Repeating table headers (in print)

[themissingelf]

Anyone know the CSS (or any other method) to get table headings to repeat on each page when printing?

Cheers

Vinnie describes how to do it in his blog - http://blog.vinniegarcia.com/oldstuff/000127.html

Pretty easy really.

Excellent - many thanks!

Next question... How to set the page format to LANDSCAPE?

Cheers...

This:

@page {
  size: landscape;
}

However, this was one of those things in CSS 2.0 that was subsequently dropped in CSS 2.1 due to little user agent support. Apparently it wasn't a good idea . The most "reliable" (and I use the term loosely) method is to let your users know about Page Setup options in their browser.

Such a shame that it is not supported. Thanks anyway.

Going back to the table headings... I've noticed that I get a blank row at the end of page 1 of a 2 page printout. Not looked closely at the code yet but just wondered if there was anything obvious that I should be looking for?

I'd have to see your (x)HTML code to make a judgement call on that one. Could you have a row with a lot of leading whitespace that happens to fall on the page1/page2 line?

I'm looking for some information about this (repeating header on print version) but Vinnie's link isn't working. New url, Vinnie???

Any help appreciated

Same here, Vinnie is the page still up on your blog somewhere?
