Tables always start on new page

Post by Scotty »

Any tables that don't fit into the remainder of a page immediately jump to the start of the next page. The desired behaviour is that a table begins exactly where it is, and then splits over to the next page if necessary.

I'm using a table style. I've tried setting various things (CSS: table, tr; Table style: Print options) to avoid break, but nothing is working.

On another note, any way to repeat table headings when tables do flow over from one page to the next?

Ideas?

For the table jumping to the next page, do you have the following specified in your stylesheet?

Code: Select all

table
{
	page-break-inside: avoid;
}
To repeat header rows, you can specify the following in your stylesheet:

Code: Select all

thead
{
	display: table-header-group;
}

Yup.
Then that is your problem. You have TOLD Flare not to break the table! So if you remove that bit from your stylesheet, you should find that it behaves the way you want it to.
