Screen Size - Resolution - Mystery Print Preview

[SJ]

Hi All,

I am trying to write a preview page that will show a red box around
the portion of the screen that would print on a normal 8.5x11 paper.

The problem is setting the width of the div based on the different
resolutions. Does anyone know a formal that will provide the number
of pixels per inch based on the resolution.

Something like:

Div width = resoultion_ration * num_of_inches.

Any ideason how to do this or ant example web pages?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Leave print preview to the browsers. Trying to simulate it in JS is
impossible.
