I guess this is an odd one, and the answer is most likely it is not possible since it would represent a security breach; but I am looking for a way – if any – to get a screendump of content inside the browser. I don’t need the entire window, but actually just need to dump the rendered state of an tag. It need to be cross platform and cross browser compatible.
It cannot be done (yet) in pure JavaScript.
As a side-note, if your goal is to make rendering tests, you could try instantiating the target browsers within a hosted environment (i.e. host Internet Explorer in a WinForms application and get a screenshot of the rendered content) – this will show the Silverlight plug-in and allow taking screenshots.
