Waiting to hear it from you. Before that I tell you another technique. I don't know how tough it will be. Normally Js is not used to initial page rendering. I am assuming it. Now I run any browser engine (say Mozilla) in the background. Mozilla will supply position of colored and picture elements. But not the text unless its in h1,h2... . Text is not needed because in the thumbnail size its absence will not change the image too much. we can ignore it. I'll just take the image and colored elements positions and size. then create an image by php-gd. But i think this process too tough. What do you think?? Well, As I need it. is there any cheap commercial solution?
