Poor paged media support in Mozilla 1.1a


I would have expect better support of paged media - Mozilla 1.1a has just
MS IE 6.0 level paged media support, which is poor compared with Opera.
Indeed for most Web designers enough, because they don't know better than
what MS IE can implement and don't want to support more than what MS IE can
implement. Compared with MS IE the paged media support of Mozilla 1.1a is
ok and enough.

For me the most irritating matter in MS IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.1a browsers is that they don't support 'page-break-inside:avoid'. I have bordered blocks and MS IE and Mozilla broke these blocks. I have not time to define page breaks by using  'page-break-before' and 'page-break-after' properties. EVERY page break should be tested. Because Opera support 'page-break-inside', it never break bordered blocks in printing.

A request. What is the FIRST Mozilla build (date and version number), which support 'page-break-before' and 'page-break-after' properties. Does Mozilla 1.0 support them? I would inform in my Web-site about this matter.

page-break-before/after:always was implemented around 2002-03-17 15:43, see:
  http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24000#c40

The rest of the page-break CSS2 properties are in bug 132035.

Bug 72321 is also about paged media.

Tapio, this is a dupe of an old bug of yours.
