Non-standard
This feature is not on a current W3C standards track, but it is supported on the Firefox OS platform. Although implementations may change in the future and it is not supported widely across browsers, it is suitable for use in code dedicated to Firefox OS apps.
This API is available on Firefox OS for privileged or certified applications only.
The getScreenshot()
method of the HTMLIFrameElement
lets you request a screenshot of an content <iframe>
, scaled to fit within a specified maximum width and height. The image will be cropped if necessary but will not be distorted vertically or horizontally.
Note: getScreenshot()
waits for the event loop to go idle before it takes the screenshot. It won't wait more than 2000ms (this delay is defined by the Gecko dom.browserElement.maxScreenshotDelayMS
preference).
Syntax
var instanceOfDOMRequest = instanceOfHTMLIframeElement.getScreenshot(maxWidth, maxHeight, mimeType);
Returns
A DOMRequest
for handling the screenshot request. Its request.onsuccess
handler handles the success case (the screenshot is contained in request.result
as a Blob
object), and its request.onerror
handler handles the failure case.
Parameters
maxWidth
- A number representing the maximum width of the screenshot in device pixels.
maxHeight
- A number representing the maximum height of the screenshot in device pixels.
mimeType Optional
- A MIME type specifying the format of the image to be returned; if not specified, the default used is
image/jpeg
. Useimage/png
to capture the alpha channel of the rendered result by returning a PNG-format image. This lets you get a transparent background for the content<iframe>
.
Examples
var browser = document.querySelector('iframe'); var request = browser.getScreenshot(100, 100); request.onsuccess = function() { var blob = request.result; var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob); }
