Is there any way of getting a preview of a node which shows what the node will look like as a page in itself?

i.e. without the editor box and all the admin bits and pieces, themed as the node would be etc

On some other CMS I've used, there has been a preview that either opens a popup or does something with javascript to show the person editing what the finished version will actually look like.

Is there any Drupal module or setting that does similar?

I am looking for this functionality as well... Is there a possibility?

it seems like a pretty basic requirement of a preview, but I haven't found anything.

I saw some stuff for Drupal 5 that might work, but I've been using D6 for the sites I've built.

Just chiming in because I need this and you'd think this would be core functionality. I want to see what my node will look like in the front-end theme WITHOUT the editing tools.

Maybe checkout the http://drupal.org/project/live module-- you can see it in action over at groups.drupal.org.

I've been developing this for D6 and D7 here:

http://drupal.org/project/pagepreview

Having more people test it with a greater variety of sites would be helpful.
