Web browser printer pagebreak

Posted by Smith, Jack on 1999-08-19

I really hope someone can answer this question.
I have to write a report that will display the results for one to many
students that are currently in my database.  I want to generate the results
in HTML and display them in the users default web browser.  I have all the
logic to write the file and open the browser but the problem is when it
comes time to print the report (from the browser).  If the result set is
only for one student, then I just hit the print button and everything is
great.  But if the result set returns multiple students, the display in the
browser is fine but when I print it, I get part of one students info on one
page and part on another.  What I want is one page per student.
Is there a tag or command in HTML, JavaScript, ColdFusion or anything else
for that matter that will force a "page break" in the printer?  I don't care
if it's visible in the browser or not I just want to force printing to begin
on a new page.

Thanks in advance
