Alexander,
There is no method within JavaScript to do such a thing. It's a
cool-sounding idea, though.

> Does any one know whether it is possible to automatically convert a Web
page to GIF/JPG image using Javascript? I'm not talking about using a
screen-capture tool, because I have a Web page that is displayed inside a
frame (with scrollbars) and screen capture will not get everything. I'm
thinking about clicking a button that calls a Javascript function that
converts the entire Web page to an image. The user is then prompted to save
it to harddisk.
