"Continued on next page" at page break with xsl

Question

I have a html document that a user needs to print by using File -> Menu -> Print. When I look at the document using "Print Preview", it shows 6 pages. Now I want to display a message (i.e. "Section continued to next page") at the bottom of the page, when a page break occurs. I tried lots of option but didn't get the desired result. Does any body know the solution for this problem?

What does the question have to do with XSL-FO? – mzjn Jan 23 '12 at 18:09 — mzjn, Jan 23 '12 at 18:09

This has little to do with XSLT, more with HTML/CSS.

If you want to have a footer on every page, see here. You can have your XSLT add a DIV with position:fixed.

The difficult part is to have it appear on every but the last page. A quick hack that might work (not tested) is to have another DIV with position:absolute and bottom: 0 that has a higher z-index and hides the footer.

Thanks for the response. Do you have any other solution for this. The above solution doesn't fit my criteria. Is there something to do with Marker in XSL:FO? – kendole nagaraju Jan 23 '12 at 13:18
Browsers do not natively implement a renderer for XSL-FO, so you can't use it in this case. Perhaps someone else knows an better solution. – flyx Jan 23 '12 at 15:02

I don't believe you can use XSL-FO with the browser natively (as flyx mentioned). You could implement this server-side through a button on your page, but intervening in the browser implementation of File > Print will not be possible for security reasons.

If you do choose the server-side way, you can use XSL-FO, but I'm not familiar enough with it to help you there.
