I asked a question on SO about compiling an image file from HTML. Michaël Witrant responded and told me about the canvas element and html5.

I’m looked on the net and SO, but i haven’t found anything regarding drawing a misc element’s contents onto a canvas. Is this possible?

For example, say i have a div with a background image. Is there a way to get this element and it’s background image ‘onto’ the canvas? I ask because i found a script that allows one to save the canvas element as a PNG, but what i really want to do is save a collection of DOM elements as an image.

EDIT

It doesn’t matter what language, if it could work, i’m willing to attempt it.

    For the record, drawWindow only works in Firefox.

    This code will only work locally and not on the internet, using drawWindow with an external element creates a security exception.

    You’ll have to provide us with a lot more context before we can answer anything else.
