If cache is turned on, the document.write() doesn't print. This works great on
the screen, but doesn't work on the printer :(

<script language=JavaScript><!-- // hide script
 // this should be set to a VALID image string.
 var imageString = '<img src="http://www.here.com/there.gif">';
 var imageHeight = 472;  //the height of the image

 function changeLayer() {
   var height=document.height, i, numImages;
   numImages = Math.ceil(height/imageHeight);  //get one m
   for (i=0; i<numImages; i++)
     document.watermark.document.write(imageString + "\n");
 }
// finish hiding script --></script>

the HTML has: <body onLoad="changeLayer()">
and it also has: <layer id=watermark>

This works GREAT on the screen, however when you print this (with cache
turned on). Of course when cache is set to 0kb, no error occurs however the the
write() isn't carried out either.

Thanks for the excellent bug report.

I'm going to pass it on to the libMocha component.  I can't promise it'll be
fixed, because it looks like it's on the mozilla 'classic' codebase - current
development efforts are being focused on the nglayout/xpfe codebase.

Brendan - you're listed as non-owner of this module.  Any suggestions?

This bug is against the old layout engine, really.  It's unlikely to recur in
the brave new world.  I'm marking it REMIND and reassigning it to vidur, who may
just want to close it.
