Is it possible to to take a screenshot of a webpage with JavaScript and then submit that back to the server?

I'm not so concerned with browser security issues. etc. as the implementation would be for HTA. But is it possible?

We had a similar requirement for reporting bugs. Since it was for an intranet scenario, we were able to use browser addons (like Fireshot for Firefox and IE Screenshot for Internet Explorer).

The SnapEngage uses a Java applet (1.5+) to make a browser screenshot. AFAIK, java.awt.Robot should do the job - the user has just to permit the applet to do it (once).

And I have just found a post about it:
