I'm trying to get google chrome to do page breaks.
I've been told via a bunch of websites that page-break-after: always; is valid in chrome but I can not seem to get it to work even with a very simple example. is there any way to force a page break when printing in chrome?
I've used the following approach successfully in all major browsers including Chrome:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Paginated HTML</title>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
div.page
{
page-break-after: always;
page-break-inside: avoid;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is Page 1</h1>
</div>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is Page 2</h1>
</div>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is Page 3</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is a simplified example. In the real code, each page div contains many more elements.
position: relative. –
Christoper break-after and break-before apply only to block-level elements, table row groups, table rows (but see prose): drafts.csswg.org/css-break-3/#break-between – that means no floats or any fancy positioning tricks. –
Graviton display:flex –
Dib @media print {} I set the section to display:block instead of flex. Took me quite some time to find your hint. ! –
Azarria display: flex container bug in Chrome should be similar to this Mozilla (Firefox) one: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1622935 –
Chicalote page-break-inside: avoid; line is necessary? I naïvely thought this should work with that line, but I am wrong, and don't understand why. –
Noli Actually one detail is missing from the answer that is selected as accepted (from Phil Ross)....
it DOES work in Chrome, and the solution is really silly!!
Both the parent and the element onto which you want to control page-breaking must be declared as:
position: relative
check out this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/petersphilo/QCvA5/5/show/
This is true for:
page-break-before
page-break-after
page-break-inside
However, controlling page-break-inside in Safari does not work (in 5.1.7, at least)
i hope this helps!!!
PS: The question below brought up that fact that recent versions of Chrome no longer respect this, even with the position: relative; trick. However, they do seem to respect:
-webkit-region-break-inside: avoid;
see this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/petersphilo/QCvA5/23/show
so i guess we have to add that now...
Hope this helps!
page-break-inside. Any help? –

Matthew I just wanted to note here that Chrome also ignores page-break-* css settings in divs that have been floated.
I suspect there is a sound justification for this somewhere in the css spec, but I figured noting it might help someone someday ;-)
Just another note: IE7 can't acknowledge page break settings without an explicit height on the previous block element:
I had an issue similar to this but I found the solution eventually. I had overflow-x: hidden; applied to the <html> tag so no matter what I did below in the DOM, it would never allow page breaks. By reverting to overflow-x: visible; it worked fine.
Hopefully this helps somebody out there.
* { overflow-x: visible }. –
Behemoth I'm having this problem myself - my page breaks work in every browser but Chrome - and was able to isolate it down to the page-break-after element being inside a table cell. (Old, inherited templates in the CMS.)
Apparently Chrome doesn't honor the page-break-before or page-break-after properties inside table cells, so this modified version of Phil's example puts the second and third headline on the same page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Paginated HTML</title>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
div.page
{
page-break-after: always;
page-break-inside: avoid;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is Page 1</h1>
</div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is Page 2</h1>
</div>
<div class="page">
<h1>This is, sadly, still Page 2</h1>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Chrome's implementation is (dubiously) allowed given the CSS specification - you can see more here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=32f9d9629d6f6789&hl=en
Beware of CSS : display:inline-block when printing.
None of the CCS property to go to next page would work for me in Chrome and Firefox if my table was inside a div with the style display:inline-block
For example, the following doesn't work :
<div style='display:inline-block'>
<table style='page-break-before:always'>
...
</table>
<table style='page-break-before:always'>
...
</table>
</div>
But the following work :
<div>
<table style='page-break-before:always'>
...
</table>
<table style='page-break-before:always'>
...
</table>
</div>
display: flex –
Submit 2016 update:
Well, I got this problem, when I had
overflow:hidden
on my div.
After I made
@media print {
div {
overflow:initial !important
}
}
everything became just fine and perfect
I faced this issue on chrome before and the cause for it is that there was a div has min-height set to a value. The solution was to reset min-height while printing as follows:
@media print {
.wizard-content{
min-height: 0;
}
}
This did the trick for me (2021 Chrome):
@media print {
.page-break {
display: block; // <== this can be missing sometimes
break-before: always;
page-break-before: always;
}
}
display: block; –
Kristinkristina If you are using Chrome with Bootstrap Css the classes that control the grid layout eg col-xs-12 etc use "float: left" which, as others have pointed out, wrecks the page breaks. Remove these from your page for printing. It worked for me. (On Chrome version = 49.0.2623.87)
It's now 2021 and this topic is the first result when searching for the exact issue with Chrome. I found this is a very simple solution that works and can be slapped into your without any additional effort to at least affect Chrome page breaking in the middle of a :
<style>
@media print {
tr, th, td {
page-break-inside: avoid !important;
}
}
</style>
Hopefully that helps save someone time.
Have that issue. So long time pass... Without side-fields of page it's break normal, but when fields appears, page and "page break space" will scale. So, with a normal field, within a document, it was shown incorrect. I fix it with set
width:100%
and use
div.page
{
page-break-before: always;
page-break-inside: avoid;
}
Use it on first line.
As far as I know the only way to get the correct page breaks in tables with Google Chrome is giving it to the element <tr> the property display: inline-table (or display: inline-block but it fits better in other cases that are not tables). Also should be used the properties "page-break-after: always; page-break-inside: avoid;" as written by @Phil Ross
<table>
<tr style="display:inline-table;page-break-after: always; page-break-inside: avoid;">
<td></td>
<td></td>
...
</tr>
</table>
I was printing 16 labels on A4 page landscape rotation, 4 labels per row, page was breaking in the last row and only 12 label were on one page in chrome only,
I was using display:inline-block; on a div, then replaced it with float:right; and it worked!
It was working for me when I used padding like:
<div style="padding-top :200px;page-break-inside:avoid;">
<div>My content</div>
</div>
