RE: Header/Footer asking.

Andrew

My fault I think for replying to yours not the original. You're right of
course; in a printing sense html knows nothing of pages. I was only
addressing the issue of the display on the screen, guessing that Mitch may
have mea nt it that way because he didn't mention printing.

Cheers

But how do you know when you have reached the end of one page and the
start of another?  How do you know when your table has crossed a page
border, and needs to be moved onto the next page?  

HTML is meant for the screen, as one continuous 'page' and as such has
no features to deal with this.  I think you are left with the choice of
no (or one) header + html, or headers + xsl:fo.
