[Mapbuilder-users] Printing multiple layers

[Cameron Shorter]

Paul,
I understand you worked out how to print in IE (setting Opacity somewhere).

Could you please point Jason at an example webmap which will print in IE 
so that we can copy the DOM.

Jason, once you have something that does print, have a lot at its DOM 
(you can use Firefix Tools->DOM Inspector. Right click on HTML select 
Copy XML.)

Then you will need to tweak MapPane.xsl until the Mapbuilder DOM looks 
similar.
