How to print a html-table with a lot of columns.

Hello all,

I'm trying to print a table with a lot of columns, so that the width of the table doesn't fit a single page.

I'm using jqprint to print that table. But it prints only the left part of the table, and the right part it won't print. Is there a way to print the table on multiple pages?

Kind regards, Bruno

using CSS you can specify page breaks.

Look here at www.w3Schools.com for reference Look here at javascriptkit.com for a tutorial

Thanks for the advice, i didn't knew about these page breaks. But it seems to be you can't break a table in "multiple" tables after columns. (or i just can't manage it :-) ) I think i will go break my table in multiple tables, and with those page breaks, i can set them on the different pages.

I would calculate the size per column you need, and when you see it wont fit your paper anymore, put it from that column in a new table. and so on... till you did the whole table. And put some page-breaks after eacht table.
