Generate a JPG image from a <table> in Classic ASP

Question

I have an ASP Classic page with a table. Is it possible to allow users to click in a button to export that table to a JPG file?

Answer 1

Not easily on the client side, and certainly not reliably enough that you could do it any browser. But checkout the following for some ideas!

• Capture HTML Canvas as gif/jpg/png/pdf? - StackOverflow post on obtaining an image from a canvas

What you'll probably have to do is render the HTML into an image on the server side. See following for ideas
