Sorry for the delay. The purpose is to be able to see what is running on a site at any given time.

Hey Joey, I had a search, and from what I found, it would be very difficult unless you have root access to a server. Another way would be to create a HTML/CSS renderer using PHP, and then using that to take a screenshot. A link from DigitalPoint http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=76454 may provide some clues, or discouragement as I found. Let us know if you work out how to do it. I'd love to know.
