Hi,  
i am a new ruby on rails user.  
while in my project, i have displayed some data from db in tabular form  
contain a header , body and footer.  
now there is a print page option.  
so when i print the data (consist of 4-5 pages), the header comes on the  
first page, i want the header of the report to come on each page of  
report.

so any solution.  
thanks
