Selenium uses a prioritized list of preferred things to capture: http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/TakesScreenshot.html This isn't great and we should mandate something the browsers should do, which can be one of the following I guess: - Browser window including chrome - Visible viewport - Canvas of bounding box of the document of the top-level browsing context 98899 1 ato 2014-01-22 17:03:24 +0000 An interesting question, I find, is whether the last point can be replaced by doing (pseudo code) driver.find_element_by_css(":root").take_screenshot(), which would send the web element reference ID of ":root" as an argument to takeScreenshot. If we're happy with that we could have takeScreenshot without arguments just do the visible viewport or the browser window. 108518 2 dburns 2014-06-30 22:07:06 +0000 *** Bug 25692 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 108631 3 dburns 2014-07-01 21:57:53 +0000 Initial implementation in https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/rev/e4451afd6d71 111138 4 dburns 2014-09-07 12:03:43 +0000 Seeing as no comments have been added (and I am sure there are other errors so raise a new bug for those) I am closing this bug
