I have a large amount of tables which I have created a script to count the tables height and I will add a class to the table if it runs off the page in order for it to do a page break. The only thing im not sure of is what the pixel height I should be testing against for a letter size page?

EDIT

On second thought, forget pixels. Use CSS and specify it in inches. https://stackoverflow.com/a/935977/259457

For A4 use 842px as height.

For printing purposes generate a pdf. That is much safer.

-- edit Print.css is perfect for simple print such as notes / to do lists.

  • i have already created a print css and it will work fine my only problem is not knowing when to set a page break due to pixels how would a pdf help? – waa1990 Jan 31 '12 at 20:58
  • Generated pdf's create a stable version of the print no mather which browser / OS. print.css is fine for quick prints. – Matthias van Turennout Jan 31 '12 at 21:05
