Re: [xsl] Printing an XSL->HTML document

I don't know if this will be any help, but i've been doing something 
similar.  I've found that IE5.0 and above enables you to put in page breaks 
with a CSS style.  As of now, IE on Macs and all of NS don't support this 
style, which means that if you want to put breaks in, the only way I've 
found is by putting in the right # of <p> tags.  As a result, I'm only 
offering pagination for IE5.0 and above on PC.  If you go to:
http://www.webreference.com/js/tips/000201.html - it shows you how to use 
this style.  I've used it so that at a particular point, I add in the 
footer, a page break, and the header.

http://www.webreference.com/js/tips/991029.html - this will show you how to 
trigger the pop-up print dialog (if you need to)

Good luck.  HTML printing really is a pain... you can't know what your 
user's settings (page setup etc) are going to be, which is another problem 
to add to the mix.

Let me know what you end up doing... I didn't use the XMLFO thing... We 
found that the pages just ignored the settings we used.  Let me know if 
XMLFO makes things easier...
