Customising the preview page

Does anyone know of a way how I could generate a custom preview page of what's in the editor? I know there's the preview button, which works well, but I would like to preview the content as it will look once it appears on the page, ie. integrated into the website template.

My javascript isn't that great, but I can see that the preview() function gets the content like this: objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML, and then writes it to the preview page. I also understand that preview_window.document.write( objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML) overwrites all the content in the popup window. Is there a way to pass the innerHTML content to another layer or iframe in the new document, so that only the content of that layer or frame is overwritten, and not the container page?

Thanks

Charles.

I want the samen thing, is there any way to customize the FCKEditor so that the preview button shows the content from the editor in the website template?

You could look at the plugins section and get the one that I uploaded.

I have found it! The serverPreview plugin you wrote works excellent! However: the icon image is not loaded in my toolbar. I mean: I can use the button, but the icon is not there, how can I fix this?

The toolbar system has changed since I created the plugin so you'll need to update the code that references the image.

I can not seem to find the place where the images of the toolbar reside, does anybody know this?
