Description:
Screen capture program that will do a batch "grabbing" of html pages into jpeg files.

The program will connect to a local database table using ODBC and get the list of urls/sites to "capture".

Then, for each database entry, the program will perform the task of "grabbing" the html content (as displayed on IE browser) into JPG.

Software should handle 2 types of "grabbing":

1. Simple grab (Capture the page as soon as the page finish loading [onLoad])

2. Timeout grab (Capture the page as soon as a timeout value reaches. i.e = after 10 seconds from connection).

I would want to specify the "browser" Width/Height and JPEG output quality.

Prefarbly, this should be done as a background process (where I don't need the program to run and capture in front), but a stable "foreground" application would be good too.

I'm taking this project as a hobby and as individual I can't pay more then 50$. Please do not respond to bids higher then that.

If you need more info let me know.
Example of the process can be seen on: www.html2jpg.com

Michael.
