I am using the ASP.NET AJAX ModalPopupExtender on a page. The popup contains details of one or more customer orders that need to be printed out. Each order needs to be on a separate page.
I should be able to use the CSS page-break-after
style, but this does not work in this scenario as the ModalPopupExtender causes the containing div
to be set to position: absolute
.
Can anyone suggest a workaround?
For completeness, an example HTML page that illustrates the issue is below.
