# Style pageBreakInside Property

Style Object

## Definition and Usage

The pageBreakInside property sets or returns the page-break behavior inside an element (for printing or print preview).

Note: The pageBreakInside property has no effect on absolutely positioned elements.

## Syntax

Set the pageBreakInside property:

Object.style.pageBreakInside="auto|avoid|inherit"

Return the pageBreakInside property:

Object.style.pageBreakInside

The pageBreakInside property is supported in all major browsers. Note: The value "inherit" is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports "inherit". Note: Firefox, Chrome, and Safari do not support the property value "avoid". ## Tips and Notes Tip: Avoid page-break properties inside tables, floating elements, and block elements with borders. ## Example Avoid a page break inside the <p> element with id="footer": <html> <head> <script> function setPageBreak() { document.getElementById("footer").style.pageBreakInside="avoid"; } </script> </head> <body> <h1>This is a heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p id="footer">This is a footer paragraph.</p> <button type="button" onclick="setPageBreak()">Avoid page-break inside footer paragraph</button> </body> </html> Try it yourself » Style Object ## Your suggestion: Your E-mail (optional): Page address: Description: Close [X] ## Thank You For Helping Us!
