How to capture screenshot using JavaScript?

[javascripton]

I need to capture a screenshot (like what is acheived by pressing "print screen"). How is it possible using only Javacript?
Also, is it possible to save contents of a tag - like <img or <div - into a file?
Thanks

It is not.

Also, is it possible to save contents of a tag - like <img or <div - into a file?

Select the required text with the mouse, press ctrl-c, open notepad, press ctrl-v, click the file -> save menu option.

Anyone knows how to do the original questions programmatically using JavaScript?
I have successfully grabbed the entire screen and/or TAGs and copied them to clipboard using ControlRange Object (which is supported only in IE). Therefore there must be a way to take the contants of clipboard and save them (again programmatically!)
Anyone has done anything similar before?

You can do this using ActiveX. Using the Search feature for this forum, I found the following:

You can use the ControlRange methods to copy and paste content on the page. Then you have to use ActiveXObject to save it to a file.. Or if you have it uploaded you can use the php/asp to write it to the server.. or with HTTP request..
