Q: 

Pasting a Screen shot into a text area on a web page

Is it possible to take a screen shot (using the Print Screen) and paste it from the System Clipboard directly into a web pages text area field (which I would create)? Do I need a browser plug-in? Can Flash do this?

**The solution only has to work in Internet Explorer.

+2  A: 

This is not possible without a plugin.

It's not possible in Flash or Silverlight either, although it is possible in AIR.

A: 

I think you will have to write a custom ActiveX Control in order to do this. The control should automatically take a screenshot and send captured image to server-side code.. There is one more option - create a java applet, which will do the job, and also will help you to avoid cross browser issue.

That will only work in IE

Creating the same FF extension will work as well.

Of course the solution is not cross browser.

I should have added that the solution only has to work in IE

Then you need to create ActiveX control

Do you know of a website that talks about create the solution that you are talking about?
