How does `page-break-before` CSS property work?

Question

According to DOMPDF's FAQ, you can use page-break-before and the similar to force page breaks.

I had to lay out my page with tables, as DOMPDF does not support floats.

On a <tr> element, I have placed style="page-break-before: always" but the generated PDF doesn't seem to follow this rule.

Is it because I have placed it on a tr element, and not a traditional block element?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

@reiso What? What about sending PDF documents to people for printing you can rely on? — alex, Jul 16 '10 at 06:22
@reiso Well there is no easy way to remove the text in the margins — alex, Jul 16 '10 at 14:46

I have no way to test at the moment, but it's possible that you could achieve the same result by using multiple `` elements, rather than explicitly 'breaking' the one table across multiple tables. – David Thomas Jul 16 '10 at 06:28
