Take Screenshot of Browser via JavaScript (or something else)

Question

For support reasons I want to be able for a user to take a screenshot of the current browser window as easy as possible and send it over to the server.

Any (crazy)

You can also do this with the Fireshot plugin. I use the following code (that I extracted from the API code so I don't need to include the API JS) to make a direct call to the Fireshot object:

    var element = document.createElement("FireShotDataElement");
element.setAttribute("Entire", true);
element.setAttribute("Action", 1);
element.setAttribute("Key", "");
element.setAttribute("BASE64Content", "");
element.setAttribute("Data", "C:/Users/jagilber/Downloads/whatev.jpg");

if (typeof(CapturedFrameId) != "undefined")
        element.setAttribute("CapturedFrameId", CapturedFrameId);


document.documentElement.appendChild(element);

var evt = document.createEvent("Events");
evt.initEvent("capturePageEvt", true, false);

element.dispatchEvent(evt);

Note: I don't know if this functionality is only available for the paid version or not.
