Thanks John,
Looks promising, tthanks! Still not getting it quite to happen though.
Here's what I did (wrong, I guess):
created the about:blank, added innerHTML in the load(), added this.__frame
to the appl. Root:
this.getRoot().add(this.__frame);
set frame to hidden:
this.__frame.setVisibility("excluded");
then when i want to see/print:
this.__frame.setVisibility("visible");
which shows my HTML, including scroll bar (yay!); but the call to
this__frame.getWindow().print() didn't seem to have any effect, and
printing with the regular Windows File->print gives me the on-screen
portion of the HTML only. Did I add the __frame at the wrong level? Or...??
