I found a solution that worked for me and only one that works without problem.

In html 

<table>
        <thead><tr><td>
            <div class="header-space">&nbsp;</div>
        </td></tr></thead>
        <tbody><tr><td>
            <div id="pageHost" class="content"></div>
        </td></tr></tbody>
        <tfoot><tr><td>
            <div class="footer-space">&nbsp;</div>
        </td></tr></tfoot>
    </table>
    <header id="pageHeader">
    </header>
    <footer id="pageFooter">
        Custom Footer
        <div class="numberOfPages">

        </div>
    </footer>

in css 

            header, .header-space,
            footer, .footer-space {
                height: 100px;
                font-weight: bold;
                width: 100%;
                padding: 10pt;
                margin: 10pt 0;
            }

            header {
                position: fixed;
                top: 0;
                border-bottom: 1px solid black;
            }

            footer {
                position: fixed;
                bottom: 0;
                border-top: 1px solid black;
            }

You can set a position: fixed; header and footers so that it will repeat on each page

For Example

<header class="onlyprint"><!--Content Goes Here--></header>
<footer class="onlyprint"><!--Content Goes Here--></footer>

@media screen {
    header.onlyprint, footer.onlyprint{
        display: none; /* Hide from screen */
    }
}

@media print {
    header.onlyprint {
        position: fixed; /* Display only on print page (each) */
        top: 0; /* Because it's header */
    }
    footer.onlyprint {
        position: fixed;
        bottom: 0; /* Because it's footer */
    }
}

There is currently a bug in the webkit engine (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100075) that results in totaly misplaced footers.

I really appreciate your reply but i have used this solution(position : fixed) before and the content of the page would be masked by the header. so i have to use "@page" which only works with "Margin" property and "Content" does not work or in other words i cannot reach the result i want.
