Hello,

I'm building a frontpage web site and I'm testing it in
http://frontpage.sobrenatural.net

I'm using a script from here
(http://javascript.about.com/library/scripts/blprintready.htm) that will
allow my visitors to click on a link an see and print a new document with
just the text that I have included between <div id="printReady"> and </div>
tags. In my computer it works perfectly, it opens a new document and writes
the contents of those tags. But now that I've published using MS FrontPage
2003, it doesn't seem to work. In fact, when I click on the print script
link it opens a new windows and my browser freezes. I also tried it on two
other computers here and it freezes the Internet Explorer Browser and the
Avant Browser in them.

At firs, I thought the problem was the Frontpage Web Bot counter that I put
in them (to check how many times each of my articles have been read), but I
move one of them outside of the <div> tag in this page
(http://frontpage.sobrenatural.net/contenido/secciones/curanderismo/articulo
-1.htm) and the problem persists.

Since my web site is in spanish language, I'm giving you the urls you may
visit to reproduce the error. If you navigate to
(http://frontpage.sobrenatural.net/contenido/secciones/index.htm), you
should see some text that reads "Lista de Todos los Artículos disponibles:",
under it, you should see a list of several pages. Please click on any of
them and when it opens, you'll see the article. Now please scroll down and
on the left margin you should see a box that reads "Opciones" and then an
icon with a printer with the label "Imprime este artículo". That's the link
to the script, but the actual script is in a separate file that you may
download here (http://frontpage.sobrenatural.net/js/printready.js).

So, as you may see, the problem is that I can't seem to figure out why this
script does not work after it has been published, but it do work on my local
hard drive.

A word of CAUTION: If you click on the "Imprime este artículo" link, your
browser will open a new window that may freeze all of your browser's
windows. You may have to shut down your browser enterely and reload it
again.

By the way, I'm not a professional web developer, I'm just a humble studio
photographer with a lot of spare time ;-)

I will appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Lalo Márquez
