Web development can be a daunting task, even for specialists. There is a lot of information to absorb and a lot of technologies to learn in order to manage a superior website. When trying to learn the ropes, developers need a reliable source to introduce new ideas that can be easily implemented. When working on large projects, even web veterans may run into a technology or an aspect of a technology that they are unfamiliar with.

How do i insert a page break in to my webpage
I wish to break up the page for printing purposes, i have three or 4 parts on my page and without having to add a lot of blank lines I wish to allow them to click the print button and have it print each section on a seperate page.

The simplest approach would be to put the separate parts within iframes. So when your users see the print dialog they can choose to print the current frame. (FireFox has an obtain to print 'Each frame separately'.)
You would need to split your, say, four sections into four separate .html pages. Then on the main page insert (and size and position) your iframes and set the src for each of them to one of your four new pages.

CSS has a page break property:

E-Oreo: Thank you, I had forgotten about this. (When I first studied css a few years ago it wasn't well supported.)
When you recommend PDF do you mean - provide a link to a separate pdf document? I know it's possible for JavaScript to create a pdf, but it's not the simplest thing to take on.

Yes, a link to a PDF document. It's not possible to generate a dynamic PDF document with client side JavaScript, but you can do it with a server side language.

thanks to cascading style sheets, it is possible to give modern web browsers a "hint" to help them put page breaks in the right places when printing out web pages. Here is an example:
<p style="page-break-before: always">
This will force a page break when printing, before the start of this particular <p> element.
Del.icio.us
Digg
Google
Spurl
Blink
Furl
Simpy
Y! MyWeb
Linear Mode
