I'm making a HTML report that is going to be printable, and it has "sections" that should start in a new page.
Is there any way to put something in the HTML/CSS that will signal to the browser that it needs to force a page break (start a new page) at that point?
I don't need this to work in every browser out there, I think I can tell people to use a specific set of browsers in order to print this.

page-break
First page (scroll down to see the second page)_x000D_
<div style="break-after:page"></div>_x000D_
Second page_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
<button onclick="window.print();return false;" />Print (to see the result) </button>
_x000D_
Just add this where you need the page to go to the next one (the text "page 1" will be on page 1 and the text "page 2" will be on the second page).
Page 1
<div style='page-break-after:always'></div>
Page 2
This works too:
First page (there is a break after this)
<div style="break-after:page"></div>
Second page (This will be printed in the second page)
I needed a page break after every 3rd row while we use print command on browser.
I added
<div style='page-break-before: always;'></div>
after every 3rd row and my parent div have display: flex;
so I removed display: flex;
and it was working as I want.
@Chris Doggett makes perfect sense.
Although, I found one funny trick on lvsys.com, and it actually works on firefox and chrome. Just put this comment anywhere you want the page-break to be inserted. You can also replace the <p>
tag with any block element.
<p><!-- pagebreak --></p>
I was struggling this for some time, it never worked.
In the end, the solution was to put a style element in the head.
The page-break-after can't be in a linked CSS file, it must be in the HTML itself.
CSS
@media print {
.pagebreak {
page-break-before: always;
}
}
HTML
<div class="pagebreak"></div>
- We can add a page break tag with style "page-break-after: always" at the point where we want to introduce the pagebreak in the html page.
- "page-break-before" also works
Example:
HTML_BLOCK_1
<p style="page-break-after: always"></p>
HTML_BLOCK_2
<p style="page-break-after: always"></p>
HTML_BLOCK_3
While printing the html file with the above code, the print preview will show three pages (one for each html block "HTML_BLOCK_n" ) where as in the browser all the three blocks appear sequentially one after the other.
Try this link
<style>
@media print
{
h1 {page-break-before:always}
}
</style>
Try this (its work in Chrome, Firefox and IE):
... content in page 1 ...
<p style="page-break-after: always;"> </p>
<p style="page-break-before: always;"> </p>
... content in page 2 ...
You can use the CSS property page-break-before
(or page-break-after
). Just set page-break-before: always
on those block-level elements (e.g., heading, div
, p
, or table
elements) that should start on a new line.
For example, to cause a line break before any 2nd level heading and before any element in class newpage
(e.g., <div class=newpage>
...), you would use
h2, .newpage { page-break-before: always }
Just wanted to put an update. page-break-after
is a legacy property now.
Official page states
This property has been replaced by the break-after property.
Let's say you have a blog with articles like this:
<div class="article"> ... </div>
Just adding this to the CSS worked for me:
@media print {
.article { page-break-after: always; }
}
(tested and working on Chrome 69 and Firefox 62).
Reference:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/page-break-after ; important note: here it's said This property has been replaced by the break-after property.
but it didn't work for me with break-after
. Also the MDN doc about break-after
doesn't seem to be specific for page-breaks, so I prefer keeping the (working) page-break-after: always;
.
