Hi,

In Google Chrome the 'chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab(integer windowId, function callback)' method will return a data URL of the JPEG encoding of the visible area of the captured tab.

We want to save that content as image to hard disk without opening/passing the contents into new html page.

Does anybody know how it can be done by javascript.

Please provide help.
Thanks.

Javascript has no access to the file system, your browser is sandboxed. So the answer is, you cannot.
