jandrews3 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I teach Spanish and I've written a script to create remediation sheets for students based on their recorded progress. So, my first objective is to generate a webpage with data for 35 different students pulled from a database. Way easy. My second objective is to put page breaks between the students so that I can print the webpage and every student has his/her own sheet. Kind-of-success. My problem is that my laptop prints just fine, but I want this ability from my iPad. I've written my entire website so that I can teach from my iPad in class and be totally unbound from my laptop. When I run the same script (load the same page) from my iPad, I get an BLANK page between every student. I'm using page-break-before: always in a recurring <div></div> loop with the entire data-set for a student inside a div. I captured a source code from the laptop AND from the iPad, and they're both identical. So, the problem is that they are treating the page-break-after differently. I don't understand. While the page is generated using PHP, that is not the issue. It is the browser interpretation of the CSS/HTML which is causing the problem. Hence, I have included the sample HTML source code for the first 2 students in the class. <body style="color: #000000; background-image: none; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 25px;"> <div style="page-break-before: always;"> <p align="center" style="font-size: 15pt; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px 0px;"> Skill Remediation<br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Spanish I</span> </p> <p align="right" style="line-height: 16px; margin: 0px 0px;"> Name: <b>Adams, Kendra</b><br> Today's date: <b>Mar 17</b><br> Due date: <b>Mar 20</b><br> </p> C.O.P.
