I have no idea how you could do this with javascript. Some OS and
browser combinations have a screen capture feature. However I like the
Gadwin Systems Print Screen that can be downloaded at
http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/?prnscr for free. It will capture a
whole screen, selected portion thereof, or a window. You can store the
capture, print the capture, email the capture etc. The program I
downloaded was easy to use and did not include any unwanted features
such as spyware.

Gadwin PrintScreen requires Microsoft ® Windows :-(

Hello,

I found 2 firefox extensions doing such a thing :
- Fox Pager
- Reveal

I gave a look to the source code but I need some help to
find the location of the 'screenshot'.

Thanx.

Not going to happen, mate. Just not possible - for instance, I have a
small browser written in LISP which runs on a BBC Micro I keep for bits
of playing about with AI tools.

It happens that I don't allow Javascript in it, but the point is that a
browser *can* be written with pretty much any language, to run on pretty
much any equipment and there is no certainty that equipment (or
language) can do screenshots at all.

Fox Pager is a weak copy of

You assume that a browser has access to the graphics context produced
by DOM while it doesn't. It is a purely OS domain.

Just prompt Windows users to press Alt+PrintScreen and paste into
Paint. Or write an AxtiveX like one at

For Linux users prompt as suggested here

For MacOS users as suggested here

Feel free to look for other OS'.
