Re: Get the number of HTML pages
You are right, I should write something like "Get number of pages to be
printed" etc.
Let me show you the page so you may get a clear idea what I need to do.
https://www.premiersurvey.com/survey/statsrating.aspx?s_id=341972
If you open the above link with IE and take the print preview, you will see
it will go to print the report on multiple pages and I need to add a footer
for copyright information at the bottom of each page to be printed. I was
asking for number of pages to generate the DIVs dynamically for each page.
I think now you will get the idea what actually I need.
Thanks for your help.
