Adding Page Breaks To Your Web
Site
Almost all printable document types can handle author
specified page breaks. Wondering how to add page breaks to your web pages?
Starting with the release of Cascading Style Sheets 2
specification, you can finally suggest to browsers when to break pages when
printing your web pages. The bad news is that only Explorer 4.x support this
feature at this time. On the other hand, adding page break tags to web pages
will not cause any ill effects on other browsers.
To suggest a page break, add
<P style="page-break-before:
always"> before the beginning of a new printed
page. For example, if you place the following tags on a HTML page and print
it using a compatible browser, you will end-up with three pages with the
sample text.
<html>
<body>
This is the text for page #1.
<p style="page-break-before:
always">
Page #2...
<p style="page-break-before:
always">
Page #3...
</body>
</html>
Internet Tip: Netscape
Bookmarks
Both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator/Communicator
let you save Internet addresses for return visits. IE calls them Favorites;
in Netscape they're Bookmarks. One cool feature of Netscape's Bookmarks is
the ability to keep the Bookmarks file open as a separate page. Just click
on "Bookmarks" on the toolbar, and choose "Edit Bookmarks."
This opens the page so you can create folders and otherwise
organize your Bookmarks. Keeping the file open in a separate window lets
you keep the folder paths open and click your way to each site from there!
The links are still "hot" -- no need to click through a bunch of folders
when you're visiting a lot of sites within one topic.
