Re: Opening a preview window from Page Edit

Thanks for the replies. I think euromark's post is what I'm looking
for. I'm not sure about how to 'let ajax get the rendered view' -
could you elaborate on that, or point me to a useful resource?
Apologies if I'm asking for something too big - I don't know what's
involved!

Thanks,
Sharon
