Hi everyone,

I'm new to Google Excanvas and am trying to use it to render a webpage
into a canvas (in IE). (i.e. I'd like to essentially take a
"snapshot" of a webpage) I know you can do this in Mozilla pretty
easily (see bottom of this page):

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Drawing_Graphics_with_Canvas

However, this works in Mozy at the chrome level and not in an .html
file, so I'm wondering how I can replicate this in IE? Any thoughts
would be very appreciated!

Thanks,
Elizabeth

This is not implemented in ExCanvas and I'm pretty sure it cannot be implemented.  IE4 used to have an ActiveX control that allowed you to create thumbnails of web pages but I'm not sure how flexible than one is.
