Chrome updated to a new version recently (Version 58.0.3029.96) and now my page break has stopped working. I'm using a div for the page break:

<div id="pagebreakGrid" class="pagebreak" runat="server" visible="false"></div>

Then is css I had:

.pagebreak  { 
        page-break-after: always;   
    }

I also tried changing the css to this but it didn't fix it:

.pagebreak  { 
        display: block;
        page-break-after: always;
        position: relative;       
    }

This code used to work fine and still works in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how to get page breaks to work in the new version of Chrome?

Before using page-break-after, check if you can use break-after instead. In the future page-break-after will be a mere alias for some values of it. – Hassan Imam May 05 '17 at 10:48
Have you tried using `break-after: page` - I think the `page-break-after` is being replaced by break after: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/page-break-after – Pete May 05 '17 at 10:49
@HassanImam I tried using `break-after` but it still doesn't work – user123456789 May 05 '17 at 10:54
@Pete I replaced `page-break-after` with `break-after` but it didn't change anything – user123456789 May 05 '17 at 10:55
By the looks of things there is no support for either of them – Pete May 05 '17 at 10:58
@user123456789 Can you use following css `{ page-break-after: always; page-break-inside: avoid; }` and see if it is working or not. Source: [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1630819/google-chrome-printing-page-breaks) – Hassan Imam May 05 '17 at 11:01
@user123456789 You can use this one too. `-webkit-region-break-inside: avoid;` – Hassan Imam May 05 '17 at 11:03
@HassanImam `page-break-inside` or `-webkit` didn't work either – user123456789 May 05 '17 at 11:06
@Pete do you know if there is another way of doing page breaks? – user123456789 May 05 '17 at 16:21
Unfortunately I don't know of any other way - I've never bothered with it as it never worked properly – Pete May 08 '17 at 08:12
