Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132035

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[David E. Ross]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050728

According to Boris Zbarski:
"We only implement page-break-before and page-break-after, and the only value we 
really recognize is 'always'."  

See <URL:http://www.oakparkfoundation.org/grant_log.html>, which has a long
table after a short introduction.  The table begins printing on a new page
despite the use of 
  table { page-break-inside:  auto;
	  page-break-before: avoid }

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  View cited URL.  
2.  Print page.  
Actual Results:  
After printing the first two paragraphs plus four lines, there is a page break
before printing the start of the table.  

Expected Results:  
The start of the table should print on the first page with the first two
paragraphs plus four lines.  

Reference CSS 2.1, Section 13.  

Given the promotion that Firefox supports CSS 2 (replaced by CSS 2.1) and even
CSS 3, the implementation of all of Paged Media (both CSS 2.1 sections 7 and 13)
needs to be completed.
