But what if the size of the website is larger than the screen size? I assume the OP wants to "see" the whole website in a single picture, and the website might span more than a single visible screen (and require scrolling to see the whole thing). All screenshot-related methods would then need to take multiple pictures, scroll the website in the browser a "windowfull" at a time in all directions, and afterwards calculate how to concatenate all those pictures into a big one. While this can be done in principle, I think that any implementation would get Real Ugly Real Soon(tm). A more reasonable approach would be to have the browser itself dump the image of the site --- the browser is the one actually rendering the thing from html in the first place. Any browser plugins around for this? Best, :-) Marko
