Hello -

I'm new to this phantomjs and would like to incorporate it into my web app for a user to be able to click a button and it takes a screen shot of their web page for them to open later? Is this possible I've been searching for a few days now and either I can run the phantomjs from the console great but dont know exactly what to do or how to do it from the browser? I created a very simple index page to see if i can use phantomjs and execute my test.js but nothing happens. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Heres the code:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head> <title> Phantom </title>

<style>
 #change_me {
 position: absolute;
 top: 100px;
 left: 400px;
 font: 24px arial;}
 #move_up #move_down #color #disappear {
 padding: 5px;}
</style>

<script src="scripts/jquery1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/test.js"> </script>

</head>
<body>

 <button id="move_up">Move Up</button>
 <button id="move_down">Move Down</button>
 <button id="color">Change Color</button>
 <button id="disappear">Disappear/Re-appear</button>

 <button onClick="myFunction()" id="phantom">PDF</button>

<div id="change_me">Make Me Do Stuff!</div>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() 
{
  $("#move_up").click( function() 
  {
  $("#change_me").animate({top:30},200);
  });//end move_up

  $("#move_down").click( function() {
  $("div").animate({top:500},2000);
  });//end move_down

  $("#color").click( function() {
  $("#change_me").css("color", "Red");
  });//end color

  $("#disappear").click( function() {
  $("#change_me").toggle("slow");
});//end disappear


});//end doc ready

console.log("hi");
</script>
<script>
function myFunction()
{
alert("PDF Image saved");
}
</script>


</body>
</html>

The question makes no sense at all. PhantomJS is not a JavaScript library like jQuery. It is compiled into binary code (http://phantomjs.org/build.html[^]), so, naturally, it cannot be used on the client side at all.

The purposes of this product are completely different:
http://phantomjs.org/[^],
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki[^].

Of course, I can imagine using it on the server side for whatever purposes, but it takes us too far from your original question.
