If you want to save an image of a web page, like, for example, when you have a script error on page, or if you have to create some documentation for Help Desk users, an easy solution is installing "Page Saver Basic".

This tool is an extension for the Firefox browser that's released in both a basic and a Pro edition. The first is available with a no-cost license.

The main advantage using this tool is its full integration in the browser enviroment. It also has a great feature that gracefully handles multiple file formats, including PNG and JPEG.

After installation, a new "Save As Image" item appears on the Firefox navigation toolbar. To save a page or portion thereof, just click on this icon -- that's all.

From the site: "Pearl Crescent Page Saver is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that lets you capture images of web pages. These images can be saved in PNG format or (with Firefox 2) in JPEG format. The entire page or just the visible portion may be captured. Options let you control whether images are captured at full size (which is the default) or scaled down to a smaller size."

Another cool feature ...

I just tried this and one *really* cool thing it does is capture the "entire" web page, top to bottom -- not just the portion that's showing on the screen.

Very nice.
