Question

I use CGridView to render a result (invoice rows) from a db query. This is done inside a <div> on html page that is later converted to a PDF using wkhtmltopdf and printed. The problem is that today I have no support for page break so if number of invoice rows are greater than 10 the remaining rows are not visible. I can’t let the div flow since I have an invoice footer with an absolute position that can’t move.

Is there a way to force a page break and continue rendering rows on a separate page?

Below is part of the CGridView code used.

<...plenty of html---->
<div class="invoiceRow">
<?php

$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
    'dataProvider' => $dpRows,
    'cssFile' => Yii::app()->request->baseUrl . '/css/invoice.css',
    'summaryText' => '',
    'enablePagination' => false,
    'columns' => array(
        'number',
        'name',
        'description',
        'amount',
        array (
            'name'=>'value',
            'header' => 'netprice',
            'value' => 'number_format($data->value,2,","," ")'
        ),
    ));
?>
</div>
<---more html ----->

If wkhtml is able to parse css (it seems so) you could try:

<div style="page-break-after:always">
    //X invoices here
</div>
