FIGURE 7-22
The CSS Extensions category enables some terrific effects, which, unfortunately, are not well supported across
the board.
One of the problems with the Web??™s never-ending evolution of page design is evident when
you begin to print the page. The Pagebreak attribute alleviates this problem by enabling the
designer to designate a style that forces a page break when printing; the break can occur either before or
after the element is attached to the style. This attribute is especially important for print media styles.
