Re: Page breaks in HTML

This may not be the best solution for the TOC ; however, page control is
possible for HTML.  You can create a custom CSS tag for controlling page
breaks and apply it to the element at the desired page break.  You can force
the page break before or after that element.
<Style>
.pageA { page-break-after: auto | always | left | right}
.pageB{ page-break-before: auto | always | left | right}
</Style>

From the MicroSoft SDK:
auto
        Do a page break before the element only if necessary.
always
        Always do a page break before the element.
left
        Do one or two page breaks before the element until a blank left page
is reached.
right
        Do one or two page breaks before the element until a blank right
page is reached.

Implementing the style to create a forced page break:
<P> Paragraph 1.</P>
<P class="pageB">Paragraph 2.  Page break occurs before this paragraph.</P>


This style may only work in IE 4.0 or higher.  I've not tried it in
NetScape.  But after just completing a cross-browser web application, I
don't have much hope.  Netscape has an extremely limited object model and
implementation of dynamic styles.
