Don't edit scripts you don't understand (-;

In your script delete the 5 lines you have added between
  printWin.document.open();
and
  printWin.document.close();

All you should have is
  printWin.document.open();
  printWin.document.write(html);
  printWin.document.close();

If you are attempting to add content to the printed page you need to add it to the variable "html" after the line which starts your
printed page content
    html += '\n</HE' + 'AD>\n<BODY>\n';
or before / after the line that adds your page content (from the <div id="printReady"> section)
    html += printReadyElem.innerHTML;
but before the line which closes the page at
    html += '\n</BO' + 'DY>\n</HT' + 'ML>';
Using
    html +=
to add to the "html" string w/ proper syntax
Then Test in Browser (not FP preview) before you publsih

The actual line that generates ALL your html for the printed page is
  printWin.document.write(html);

PS
You also have some illegally nested <p> tags at:
http://frontpage.sobrenatural.net/contenido/secciones/escepticismo/articulo-6.htm
Like
        <P align=right style="text-align: right">&nbsp;</P></p>
        <p><p style="text-align: center" class="copyright
and make sure you close the last block tag w/ a (</p>) before the </div>

- validate your page html

| 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
