Do you have any suggestions/help?? Just so you know, page-breaking is now part of the CSS2 specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-CSS2/), is found in the section on paged media, and may well have changed somewhat from it original conception. So far as I am aware-- although I have not done rigorous testing of this, so counter-examples are not only possible, but welcome-- page-breaking is not supported in any major Web browser. -- Eric A.
