Need help with a simple JS

[mantalcore]

Hi, for my work, I need to create a script that can read the HTML between these 2 tags:

<!-- Begin Main Content Area -->

and

<!-- End Main Content Area -->

I usually program in java for most of the stuff I do but this time, I don't know how to have Java read in all the lines in between, and then create a popup window and display all the read information. This way, it makes a printer friendly page without the navigation and etc.

If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

This would not be very difficult if we could see the page(or code of the page) in question.

You're really better off doing this server-side. Stick to Java: write a JSP or a servlet.

Using "<!--" and "-->" are lines the make html code invisible to the browser. There is no way (that I'm aware of) to read this.

Oooh.. I figured out something:

onload=function() {
var body=document.body.innerHTML
var innercode=body.substring(body.indexOf("||")+2,body.indexOf("end||"))
document.write(innercode)
}

Right your statements like this:

<!--||

end||-->

any html code inside that can be read

You should probably have a .toString() in there somewhere.
