Lively discussions on the graphic arts and publishing — in print or on the web

I am trying to force page breaks using a print CSS. I have a style:

.breakhere { page-break-before: always }

and for the places I want the page to break, I have:

<a class="breakhere" name="what"></a>

This works in Firefox 1.51, but not in IE6 or in Opera 7.1. Where am I going wrong? Dreamweaver puts a line under the style in the CSS, and it doesn't like the link, either:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="fcaprt.css" >

Should I move the style to the same page as the HTML?
