The cool thing about taking screenshots using captureEntirePageScreenshot for Firefox and snapsIE for IE is that both commands work for Core. One of the main hurdles is saving the image to disk – you need to somehow obtain privilege escalation to do this. I imagine getting the image data would be possible for Safari and perhaps some of the other browsers via toDataUrl(); however, how are you going to save the image? This is probably more doable in the context of the RC-only.

snapsIE is sort of limited … I’m glad you’re finding it useful. Unfortunately I got quite frustrated trying to get it to work for HTA mode, and have abandoned that unfruitful effort.

Sorry for posting here, but clearspace.openqa.org still seems to have technical problems…
I’m part of a research group that’s researching Cross-Browser Compliant Rich Internet Application Design and Testing. In our search for a toolset to cover automating code validation, visual comparison and testing of functional behavior I came across snapsIE.
I’d like thank you for making snapsIE. And ask if you ever thought about how hard it would be to implement similar solutions on other browsers (opera, safari, google chrome…) so it would work on both the Selenium RC and Core?

You probably need to update the version of Selenium (Core?) you’re using. Try downloading a nightly snapshot from OpenQA.

Thanks.
