I make a report and I want a Header and a Footer on every page of it.
The Footer is the same on every page, but
in the Header I have to write number of page like this "page 1/2" and other
informations, so I think I can't resolve
the problem with the page-break-before/after....I have to do the report
in html, so I couldn't use XSL-FO... :(
Did anybody know if exist a method of how should I do that ?
Thanks.
P.S.: Thank you Andrew for your response.

Hi!
I would like to use a header/footer into an HTML report which is
maded in
XSL from a XML.
Anybody know a way of how should I do that ?
HTML doesn't know about headers and footers, so I think you are out of
luck. If your data is repetitive you could use CSS2's page-break-before
and page-break-after with some nifty xslt... but it's unlikely your data
will fit.
It is possible to 'hack' the windows registry to put in your own headers
on anything that gets printed, but if your app/computer crashes and
doesn't delete your custom header and footer, then anything that gets
printed from that machine will have them too (of course until you app is
closed cleanly :)
Ultimately I think the only way to go about this is to use xsl:fo to
pdf. I think Im about to embark on a similar project, and I can forsee
dual maintenance issues. I wonder how common it is to have xslt->html
for screen and xsl:fo->pdf for printing, and any probems that have
arisen?
cheers
