The Style pageBreakInside property is used for setting or returning the page-break behavior inside an element in printing or print preview. The Style pageBreakInside property does not affect the absolutely positioned elements. 

Syntax :

  • To get the property:
object.style.pageBreakInside
  • To set the property:
object.style.pageBreakInside = "auto|avoid|initial|inherit"

Note: Instead of this property use break-inside property because it is replaced with break-inside property

Property Values :

  • auto: It is used to insert a page break inside the element if necessary.
  • avoid : It is used to avoid a page break inside an element.
  • initial : It is used to set this property to its default value.
