Is It Possible To Create A Header That Will Repeat?

[curtiss]

I am setting up a printable report, and trying to get all of my CSS, etc. correct so that it will print nicely on a page.

I am curious, though, if it's possible to somehow set up a header that will repeat at the top of every page. In other words, is there maybe some way to set an "overflow:header" or something like that in my CSS?

What I would like to do is this:
I have a header that should print at the top of every single printed page.
I then have a table that should print as many pages as it needs to until the entire table has printed on the page.

So, it should print something like this:

-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
_______________________
|                                           |
----------------------------------
|      TABLE PRINTS            |
----------------------------------
|      ON ALL PAGES            |
----------------------------------
|     THAT IT NEEDS           |
----------------------------------
|                                           |
----------------------------------

Then a new page would look like:

-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
-------- HEADER --------------
_______________________
|                                           |
----------------------------------
|      THIS IS MORE             |
----------------------------------
|      OF THE TABLE            |
----------------------------------
|     FROM THE FIRST         |
----------------------------------
|              PAGE                    |
----------------------------------

I hope that makes sense.

Any ideas?

Just so you can see a little better example of what I want to do, I've posted an example report on the web.

If you go to http://septiclean.com/pumpandhaul/example.php you will see a blank example report. I would like our logo, the To/From, etc. info, and the header of the main report table all to print at the top of each page (that's the way I do it in Excel right now, which is what we're currently using for our reports).

I found some code that's supposed to allow you to do that (by placing everything that you want repeated within a thead tag, and the rest within a tbody tag), but that doesn't seem to be working for me (the code is supposed to work in Firefox 1.0.3+, and it doesn't for me, and it definitely does not work in Konqueror, but that's not that big of an issue for me).

Anyway - in the example I posted, I've got the code that's supposed to work already implemented.

I just thought I would update you guys.

The example I posted works exactly the way it should in Internet Explorer. It just doesn't work for me in Firefox.

So, if you want to see what I'm trying to do (cross-browser, hopefully), open the example in IE and press Print or Print Preview.
