How to print well one table with window.print();

Hi everybody,
I have a trouble when I print a table in HTML with function window.print();
For example, I have a big table following
<table border=1>
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
--------------repeat many times here --------------
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
<tr><td> big data here ............................</td></tr>
</table>

So when I print it by javascript function window.print();, normally, there is one rows who is in 2 pages. Could I force to print this row in the next page and don't print it in the previous page ?

Thanks for your helps
Best regards
ndhai

What you want will require re-invention of the technology. So until you write a new browser that does what you want, you have the answers available. It does not matter how long you wait you are not going to get what you want; and it is long post the time when this should be closed.
