Print your webpage screen and send email with printed image

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Capture HTML Canvas as gif/jpg/png/pdf?

Is there a simple way to create JS onclick function which will print the current screen of the website, save it as the image (.jpg or something) and send it via email.

I would like to create this option for the user side so there is no need for user to use keyboard 'Prnt Scr', then open Paint and paste and 'save as' an image, then attach and send via email.

Thanks in advance!

On the regular web (not in a plugin/extension to a browser)? You can use a Java applet I imagine. Maybe `canvas`? I wonder though. — Jared Farrish, Jun 09 '12 at 00:55
Sure it qualifies as a duplicate? This question also asks how to then send the image in an email. +1 Fairly common use case and a good question I think. — ajbeaven, Jul 05 '12 at 23:17

Well... I see that I'm still the only one who has voted to close as duplicate. I think I know the FAQ by now. `;)` – Jared Farrish Jun 09 '12 at 01:03
@JaredFarrish, forgot about that, it is done! (was distracted commenting) :) – Zuul Jun 09 '12 at 01:04

didn't answer how to send the email part. Also, in response to "ps: a simple Google search gives you all of this!", the google search often takes you to many different SO answers as the first hits so these questions are good questions pal. – rigdonmr Mar 22 '16 at 04:21
