How to achieve page break in HTML table for Google Chrome?

Question

I am trying to print a large table generated with jQuery in an HTML page. I am using Chrome 26.0.141. The issue is with page break.

i initially used this css

#membersList table { page-break-inside:auto; position:relative}
#membersList tr { page-break-before:avoid; page-break-after:auto;position:relative}
#membersList td{ border:solid 1px #CCCCCC;width:auto;position:relative}
#membersList thead { display:table-header-group;position:relative }
#membersList tfoot { display:table-footer-group;positioion:relative} 

this dint worked so i searched and got this link Google Chrome Printing Page Breaks

based on one of the answer in that link i am using the following CSS attribute

 -webkit-region-break-inside: avoid;

But when I run and inspect the element, it is stroked out by default.

What would be the solution? There are lot of posts I searched. They say that recent versions don't support page break. If it's true then what other solution is there to achieve page break in Google Chrome?

Answer 1

Finally I resolved this issue. I made tr{display:block;} and then I fixed the cell spacing.

Page break only works on block level elements.

Answer 2

As said on MDN:

WebKit browsers doesn't support this property; but some have the non-standard -webkit-column-break-after and -webkit-region-break-after with similar parameters as page-break-after.

So you need to use page-break-after with some value which suits you the best. Here are some of them:

The page-break-after CSS property adjusts page breaks after the current element.

auto: Initial value. Automatic page breaks (neither forced nor forbidden).

always: Always force page breaks after the element.

avoid: Avoid page breaks after the element.

left: Force page breaks after the element so that the next page is formatted as a left page.

right: Force page breaks after the element so that the next page is formatted as a right page.

You can also use the break-after property:

The break-after CSS property describes how the page, column or region break behavior after the generated box. If there is no generated box, the property is ignored.
