hello world!! \

3. Put div's in your print template with the same id/name as the div's you want to be printed. These div's
should be left empty. You MAY put some content in them but this content will be replaced by this script.
(Adding content to the div's allows you to show a message like 'printing' while the script is still running. It's not
guaranteed that this text *will* be shown)
4. Add a window.open to your original document. This function must open the print document.
You can also just use a print construction.
Let's say the print document you just created is /templates/js_print.htm
then a basic window.open link might look like this:
print
but you will probably want to add (a name and) features, for instance:
print
(REMOVED: 5. To use css-files add all the css files to your print doc that your site uses.
All included css files in your print doc which have exactly the same
href as one of the css files in the original document will be enabled. All others
will be disabled!)
6. In the original document make sure that all flash movies have an id and name.
7. That's it. If you now click on the print link the print document opens and copies the div's innerHTML's
to the div in it with the same id/name and then prints itself.
If you get an error like 'object not found' please check if you included
the js correctly (check the path) and check if the function is in the onLoad of the body and ofcourse
correctly spelled (it is case sensitive!).
