  You can do this through the following code

  <P>PAGE HEADER</P>
  <P>Hello This is the first page</P>
  

  <P>PAGE FOOTER</P>
  
  <P style="page-break-before:always"></P>
  
  

  <P>PAGE HEADER</P>
  <P>Hello This is the second page</P>
  

  <P>PAGE FOOTER</P>
  
  
  
  

  There might by better way!!...but this can work also

  Are you saying you want to dynamically add a header and a footer when someone prints the page? If so you can use the following css code, where the "header" and "footer" divs are invisible unless the page is being printed:

  <style type="text/css">#header {visibility: hidden;}

  #footer{visibility: hidden;}

  @media print {
      #header, #footer {visibility: visible;}
    }
  
  

  </style>
  
  

  <div id="header">Header Data Goes Here</div>

  <div id="footer">Footer Data Goes Here</div>

   

  If you want to add the header/footer dynamically after the page has loaded so it is visible onscreen try using the JavaScript innerHTML() method.

  Hope I could be of any help!

  Hi Is there a way through CSS to use different headers between the first page and the rest when printing multiple pages. We can use the attribute display:table-header-group; in the for example to print the same thead on all pages. But can we print different headers? Example: First page: header1 body Second Page: header2 body Third Page: header2 body . . . Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
