Re^2: Website screenshot

2. Convert the HTML to PS.

And after that you'd end up with a PDF or a gif of something that looked like this:

<html>
<head><title>This is an unrendered web page</title></head>
<body>
.
.
.
</body>

That's not exactly what the OP is trying to do... :-D

Actually there is a program called html2ps that translates the rendered html to ps. I haven't had much luck getting it installed - but it would serve to do the trick. my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];	[reply]

True, but the key word here is "rendered html." Rendering the HTML of the page you want to screen capture is the most important (and most non-trivial) step, and it's that step that was omitted in the post I responded to. :-D Gary Blackburn Trained Killer	[reply]

I tried a similar thing a few years back, getting the page with wget, then using html2ps, then piping it to imagemagik. Unfortunatly it renders the 'screen' over multiple images. I never found a way to have it actually thumbnail it on one page (or after a certain screen size)	[reply]
