Given the following HTML document, I need to keep the "Table title" line on the same page as the <table>
when being printed in IE8.
Despite the page-break-inside:avoid;
, there is still a page break between the title and the table. My understanding of this suggests a page break should be avoided and the whole div
pushed on to page 2.
The doctype is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, I have <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
set to force IE8 into Standards Mode which supposedly supports this syntax, and I have verified the rendering is being done in standards mode by checking document.compatMode == "CSS1Compat"
. The XHTML is valid.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
<title>Page title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Page content</h1>
this is some content
<br />which<br />should<br />push<br />the<br />table<br />below<br />on<br />to<br />the<br />next<br />page<br />but<br />the<br />table<br />should<br />be<br />kept<br />together<br />if<br />at<br />all<br />possible<br />please!
<div style="page-break-inside:avoid;">
<p><strong>Table title which needs to be kept with the table</strong></p>
