Is it possible to place a script within a webpage that will capture a section of the page and turn it into an image when you click submit? Like tell it to take everything within table "x" and generate an image out of it?

I do not understand clearly your question, Do you want use a wrapper or add an effect to your website pictures? ( light box , slim box etc)

No, I want something similar to the print screen key, only have it work from within the webpage, and not capture the entire screen, just a specific section of it.

There are products that can capture a section of the screen on the clipboard, like print screen but for a subset of the screen. But those are client side applications.

It may be possible to do something server side, but the question of course is "why do you want to?".

I made a website where you can put text in a quote box next to a person's picture, like this: link [quotebubble.com]

so I want to make it so a person can turn a quote they've made, or that someone else made into an image, so they could share it more easily, like post it on a myspace page or something.

I found a script called HTML2Image for Linux that seems to do what I want, but it's $300, and requires a lot of knowledge about installing software on a server, as well as writing a script to be able to use it as a web application, neither of which I know how to do.

You'd probably be better off with something that will transpose the two images server side, then return the image as a regular JPG.

two images?

I think this software would allow you take an image, add to it your user's quote, and spit back the result as a single JPG that could then be saved to the user's hard drive.

This may do what you want too.

Sorry, I can't be bothered to read through everything to work out if it will do exactly what you want. But it's a server side image manipulation tool, so I imagine it will.

I appreciate you trying to help me out with this If it works, I'll owe you big time! lol

That sounds even more complicated than the HTML2Image software...I don't know the first thing about transposing or stitching or any of that.
