InfoPath Dev

Good morning all, newbie here I'm afraid with potentially a mundane question. Fairly new to developing Infopath forms and at work have been tasked with creating an electronic handover sheet, which i've managed to do without issues. The problem occurs with the submit button. So when Submit is clicked the form should email the ...

Marking the table css as !important made no difference. I found another class name to use, .ab_wCx9LKQT3jgGSZFe_6 (the third in a string of 3 words that come after "class" in the dev tools display. Using this as the target gets rid of all the extra pages except the first and the last (still no page breaks in Chrome printing). I guess ...

Yuck - I mean, that's some progress at least. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for this - InfoPath printing has always been a weak spot for the product. My only guess is that there still may be a CSS way around this.... did you try marking your table CSS as important?

I am diagnosing the printing using IE's "print preview" which accurately shows the finished print layout. Using the F12 I found a class to represent the tables, which I thought might give a higher priority command. .d_wCx9LKQT3jgGSZFe_6 {page-break-before:always;} improves printing slightly (one less extra blank page).

I'm wondering if there is some way to use the dev tools in the browser to see what's going on - do you only see this in the actual printed output? Or is it also visible in the browser?

correction: the snippet that worked was page-break-before:always;

Yes. PB has no effect (without added snippets, in IE 11). table {page-break-after} added snippet is the only way I have forced any breaks. I suspect that the extra pages after each table is caused by a remnant of the border or outline elements. So far I have not used SPdesigner.

Have you tried just inserting a page break in the InfoPath form itself?

So - this scenario, which seems so basic, isn't supported out of the box. Are you using InfoPath to customize your list forms? InfoPath doesn't support submitting secondary data sources unless you use code, which is not supported in SharePoint List forms. You may be able to use CAML for this in a list form as long as you aren't using ...
