Dear fellow www-style colleagues,
Testcase (RC6) from CSS 2.1 test suite:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/page-break-before-004.htm
Same testcase:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/page-break-before-004.htm
"This test produces *_one or_* two pages of output on paged media. (...)"
Can someone explain to me why such test should be considered as passed
if only 1 page is printed?
I think if only 1 page is printed, then this should constitute a test
failure.
What am I missing here?
Browser results wrt such testcase
---------------------------------
Firefox 4.0.1 (only print preview), Opera 11.10 (only print preview),
Konqueror 4.6.3 and Safari 5.0.5 print 2 pages: 1st printed page is blank
and second printed page has the 3 sentences of text of the test... which
is exactly what I would expect from the test.
Chrome 11.0.696.68 and IE8 print only 1 page (that has the 3 sentences of
text of the test) ... which is NOT what I would expect from any/all
browsers executing the test.
Not tested in IE9.
