Opera Speed Dial replica

[simon kagwe]

Hi everyone,

I would like to come up with something similar to the Opera speed dial (see screenshots on >>> http://my.opera.com/AyushJ/albums/showpic.dml?album=202025&picture=3923672 ) on my turbogears website. The page should display thumbnails with pics of webites that were previously visited, which one can click on to visit the website again. Is this possible with javascript? Is there like a 'print screen' function I can use?

Regards,
Simon

No. This can't be done without invokink a browser serverside and take a
screenshot of that - which is complicated. Maybe using iframes works too, but
I'm not aware that these can be scaled.

Besides, where do you get the recent-urls-list from?

The site visitor can enter urls in some text fields which will be
saved on the database along with the snapshots. There must be some way
of doing it. Opera does it. Any ideas?

Opera has a HTML rendering engine. Neither TurboGears (server-side) nor
JavaScript (client-side) have a HTML rendering engine built in. But
there are projects to access the gecko or the khtml rendering engine
from Python. Google is our friend.
