Exporting options in HTML

[RamananKalirajan]

Hi,
I am trying out to create a JPEG image file from HTML. Is there any option to Export HTML Objects as an Image. Any suggestion would be helpful.


Thanks and Regards

nope. (well, at least where JavaScript is concerned). For that you need a device that can render HTML.

PS. and don’t post questions in the Insights section

do you want to export HTML on the client? ... there are no basic possibilities but you could be of luck for specific browsers like FF for example. the following quick hacked code produces an image in the current FF-window and creates a 'screenshot':

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');

var canvas  = document.createElementNS( "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml","html:canvas" );
var context = canvas.getContext( "2d" );

context.drawWindow( content, 0, 0, 1000, 1000, "rgb(255,255,255)" );

document.body.appendChild(canvas);

just tried from the firebug-console with google and it appends the image to the document. as you see it needs enhanced privileges and uses canvas ... and produces png-images.

you might use that as a start and play wit it :)

kind regards
