safari page break after not working

There isn’t an actual page-break property in CSS. It is actually a set of 3 properties: page-break-before , page-break-after and page-break-inside . These properties help define how the document is supposed to behave when printed. For example, to make a printed document more book-like.

page-break-before

The page-break-before property adds a page-break before the element to which it is applied.

Note : this property is in progress of being replaced by the more generic break-before property. This new property also handles column and region breaks while being syntactically compatible with page-break-before . Thus before using page-break-before , check if you can use break-before instead.

A common use case for this is to apply it to the selector #comments so a user printing a page with comments could easily choose to print the whole document but stop before the comments cleanly.

page-break-after

The page-break-after property adds a page-break after the element to which it is applied.

Note : this property is in progress of being replaced by the more generic break-after property. This new property also handles column and region breaks while being syntactically compatible with page-break-after . Thus before using page-break-after , check if you can use break-after instead.

page-break-inside

The page-break-inside property adds a page-break inside the element to which it is applied.

The left and right values for page-break-before and page-break-after refer to a spread layout (like a book) where there are distinct left and right pages. They work like this:

• left forces one or two page breaks after the element so that the next page is formatted as a left page.
• right forces one or two page breaks after the element so that the next page is formatted as a right page.

Consider always as a mix of both. The specification says:

A conforming user agent may interpret the values ‘left’ and ‘right’ as ‘always’.

This code snippet does 3 things:

• it forces a page-break before all h2 headings (perhaps h2 tags in your document are chapter titles that deserve a fresh page)
• it prevents page-breaks right after sub-headings because that looks odd
• it prevents page-breaks inside pre tags and block-level quotes

Browser Support

You can print from mobile devices, like AirPrint on iOS, but we haven’t tested this much. If anyone has data on support, let us know.

Awesome. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while. Never liked breaking in the middle of particular sections, especially when it orphans data on the next page!

Very helpful! Thanks!

you are awesome, thanks

I don’t see “page-break-inside” working on any browser, let alone most major browsers, would you please provide a demo page?

Safari 7 on OS X sadly doesn’t appear to be supporting page-break-after: avoid . I’ve tested using a header with paragraph, but they got separated at page boundary.

Something has changed. page-break-before: always; no longer works in Chrome or Safari. Firefox respects it though.

page-break-inside:avoid; This works. in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Not only does page-break-inside:avoid; work, but it seems the most useful of the options!

I’ve seen the “auto” option listed several places, but no one ever explains what it’s supposed to do.

page-break-inside:avoid is a lifesaver!

I wonder if it would be possible to decorate the page breaks as follows:

Say I have a paragraph that I want to avoid page-break within. So, I set page-break-inside : avoid as you mentioned. But, for some devices, it’s not possible to avoid the break. Would it be possible, in that case use some sort of decoration to indicate that the page-break happened within such a paragraph? Say, if the break happens, I want to add a right aligned ➜ to indicate the continuation of the paragraph.

Para Chrome recomiendo utilizar: -webkit-column-break-after

-webkit-column-break-after also not working in chrome

-webkit-column-break-after does not exist for Chrome.

Very awesome, very helpful – thank you!

I have a table with many columns and need to export it to pdf. I want to the table column wise. So, that, first page displays first 4 cols, then next page next 4.Once all the cols are displayed more rows should be displayed starting with the first cols

page-break-inside:avoid Very helpful on Firefox! Thanks! but some troubles with chrome and IE same problem with -webkit-column-break-inside: avoid break-inside: avoid

Extremely helpful script – it got me out of a hole. Thank you.

None of these seem to work anymore in Chrome and Safari.

left and right behave as always in most browsers.

This works great but I have a scenario where content bleeds into a second page and the page break is ignored. The subsequent breaks all work…just not the break where the content bleeds into the next page. Thoughts?

So, the example with always-pagebreak-before H2, that would leave a H1-header all alone on a page by itself ?

How to avoid that ?

You could target first H2 after H1 with h2:first-child.

That’s great but i have one issue when i use “page-break-after:always” it adds a empty page will you please help me to remove that empty page

I’m trying to get some working example of this. Has it changed at all? http://s.codepen.io/sheriffderek/debug/AXkNWq So far, no luck.

Does anyone know whether these properties work with HTML emails? Or does support depend on the client in which a message is being viewed?

In my tests, page-break-inside: avoid works well in Gmail, Yahoo and even outlook office. But neither page-break-before:avoid nor page-break-after:avoid works in these clients. page-break-before:always works sometimes.

Hi i want to make a page break after some table in pdf ,,i am using this page breaker concept but not it not supporting for me, plz help me to do…

Hey Preeti,

Have you tried asking around in our forums ? Lots of folks from the community hang out and often answer questions there.

I have a requirement wherein a NO PAGE BREAK PDF has to be generated. Is there is a way in CSS to handle this? My page has lots of content including charts/table with scrollbar for entire page.

Personally, I use FPDF http://www.fpdf.org/ to generate pdf pages dynamically. You can use it to set the page height for the appropriate amount of content, which would give the effect of a “NO PAGE BREAK PDF”.

page-break-inside: avoid

This means that inside the element with this property page-breaks will be avoided. So if you have a wrapper element and add this property there will be no page breaks inside.

Hope this helped.

Which elements support this attribute? I see it working on paragraphs and headers, but not divs (in Chrome).

I have the div to print together with it’s parent div as block, float set none !important, page-break-before and page-break-after set always. – I still don’t get the page break when printing. What can I do yet? – Every help very appreciated!

page-break doesn’t work with floated elements. You need to have an element that’s not floated and apply the property to that element. Then it will work fine.

Is there a method to have page-breaks only when printing to landscape in browser print prompt? I have a <table> stacking/overlaping some lines only when in landscape :/

Yes, if you have a class for printing or pdf then having a different class for page breaks under this one will only be applied when printing.

For example. Let’s say you have a .PDF class that you apply to the body when you are printing something. You can also have a .landscape class and a .pageBreak class that you apply to the elements where you want a page-break. If you place this class under the .PDF one it will only apply when printing. Do the same with the .landscape.

// will only apply when printing (generating a pdf) .PDF .pageBreak { page-break-after: always; }

// will only apply when landscape .landscape .pageBreak { page-break-after: always; }

Formal syntax

The page-break-after CSS property adjusts page breaks after the current element.

This property applies to block elements that generate a box. It won't apply on an empty element is the generic container for flow content and does not inherently represent anything. Use it to group elements for purposes such as styling (using the class or id attributes), marking a section of a document in a different language (using the lang attribute), and so on."> <div> that won't generate a box.

Note: this property is in progress of being replaced by the more generic break-after . This new property also handles column and region breaks and is syntactically compatible with page-break-after .

Before using page-break-after , check if you can use break-after instead. In the future page-break-after will be a mere alias for some values of it.

Top 8 Ways to Fix Safari Not Loading Websites and Pages on Mac

Thanks to the groundbreaking Apple M1 chip , the popularity of the Mac lineup is rising to new heights. On macOS, most users stick with what comes out of the box and that includes the Safari browser. While it gets the job done with a nice look and a good set of extension lists, sometimes, you run into websites not loading issues on the Safari browser. Mac not loading websites and pages mostly happens on Safari browser, sometimes due to Webkit. Before you go ahead and download Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for macOS, do check out the troubleshooting guide below to fix the issue. 

Fix Safari on Mac Not Loading Websites Issue

There are many factors behind the strange behavior. We will go through some of the basic steps and jump to extreme actions only if it doesn’t solve the issue. 

1. Check Internet Connection

This one is obvious. You should check if the Mac is properly connected to the internet. A sketchy internet connection might interfere with the website loading performance. It’s especially true when you try to load heavy web pages with lots of images and videos in Safari. 

Go to the macOS menu bar and click on the Wi-Fi icon. Make sure that it’s connected to the 5G network and not the 2.4G. I usually face this issue on my MacBook Air. Every now and then, my MacBook Air decides to connect to the 2.4G band and not the 5G band. The practice results in extremely long webpage loading times. 

2. Reset Router

Sometimes, the real culprit can be the router that you are using for the Wi-Fi connection. In such cases, you won’t be able to connect to the internet on any device, let alone loading websites on the Mac. 

In such cases, you need to reset the router or upgrade the firmware to the latest version available. Try connecting to the internet and browse the web comfortably.

3. Disable Extensions

Extensions play a major role in any browser’s ecosystem. The Safari browser is no exception here. Apple tightly controls the whole experience and only allows legitimate extensions from the App Store. 

However, some extensions might go out of date or become incompatible with the new macOS version resulting in Safari not loading websites on Mac. 

It can be hard to determine which extension is causing Safari to not load pages. In such cases, you need to disable all extensions and try your luck with the web browser again. Follow the steps below. 

1. Open the Safari browser. 

2. Click on the Safari option in the Menu bar. 

3. Go to Preferences . 

4. Move to the Extensions menu. 

5. On the right side, you will find all the installed extensions. 

6. Select an extension one by one and use the Uninstall button from the right side to remove them. 

4. Uninstall AdBlocker

No, I’m not talking about the Adblocker extension in a browser . Many users opt for a system-wide adblocker such as AdLock to remove any kind of ads from the OS. 

These programs might affect the webpage performance on the device. If you are using such software then you need to uninstall the program.

Open the Finder menu on Mac. Go to the Applications option. Identify the culprit app and move it to the Trash . 

5. Disable VPN

VPN apps allow you to establish a secure and private network connection . Some websites might not be accessible from the selected VPN location. You need to disable VPN and try the website loading again. 

Most VPN apps for Mac offer a shortcut through the menu bar. Click on the VPN icon in the menu bar and turn off the service. 

6. Clear Cache

A bad cache can ruin the day. It’s always advisable to clear cache and cookies from the browser at a regular interval. We are going to apply the same trick here to fix the website not loading issue on the Mac. Go through the steps below. 

3. Go to the Clear History menu. 

4. The following menu will offer to delete all the browsing history along with cookies and related website data. 

7. Update macOS

Safari not loading pages issue might be due to the recent macOS bug. Thankfully, Apple is quick to fix such annoyances. Go to the System Preferences > Software Update and install the latest macOS build. 

8. Switch to a Chromium Browser

Chromium is a universally accepted rendering engine. Some websites are specifically designed keeping Chromium in mind. The Safari browser uses a Webkit rendering engine to load web pages. You can switch to the Safari rival such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and try accessing the website again. 

Wrap Up: Safari in Mac Not Loading Websites

Go through the troubleshooting tips above and one of them should easily fix the website not loading on Mac issue. For me, the cache and VPN tricks work all the time to fix the website loading issues on Safari.

If you're using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), check your VPN settings . If you have a VPN turned on, some apps or websites may block content from being loaded.
