LAYOUTRECT element within a DEVICERECT element. Here is a typical definition of Page 1, in JavaScript:
newHTML = "<IE:DEVICERECT ID='devicerect1' MEDIA='print' CLASS='masterstyle'>";
newHTML += "<IE:LAYOUTRECT ID='layoutrect1' CONTENTSRC='document'
ONLAYOUTCOMPLETE='onPageComplete()' NEXTRECT='layoutrect2' CLASS='contentstyle'/>";
newHTML += "</IE:DEVICERECT>";DEVICERECT elements:
pageTotal = document.all.tags("DEVICERECT").length
pageTotal = parseInt(event.srcElement.parentElement.id.substring(10), 10);ONLAYOUTCOMPLETE event handler is attached to the LAYOUTRECT element. Its parent is a DEVICERECT element which has an ID of devicerecti. If we extract the substring that begins with the numeric part, we'll end up with the page number. There are 10 characters before the page number in the DEVICERECT's ID.
