I just found a nasty caveat... table tags screw this up in IE 5.0.

Example:

I had a page with that looked like this:

<head>
<style media=print type=text/css> DIV.pageBreakAfter { page-break-after: always }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width=640 align="left" border=0 cellpadding="2" cellspacing=0 bordercolor="#000066">
<tr><td><div id=X class=pageBreakAfter>
Some text on page 1.
</div></td></tr>
<tr><td><div id=Y class=pageBreakAfter>
Some text on page 2.
</div></td></tr>
</table></body></html>

Guess what - it doesn't work! I made a very minute change - I stripped the tags on the table so it's just <table>. Now it adds page breaks where desired. Weird, huh? You don't want to know how many trees gave their lives to give me this information, so I'm giving it to you for free. :)
