after seeing the excellent jCrop this evening, i was thinking how to use it fro cropping any part of any website. Using a little bit CSS and Iframe – you can simulate the cropping of any webpage and thats what I did this evening
check out http://sandbox.ofhas.in/pagecrop/ – type any url in the “Url” box, load it and then select any part of it (that part is done using jCrop) – and then click “crop selection” – tada!
you can use this technology to add any particular part of any website to your website. it is done using javascript (jQuery and jCrop)- no PHP at all 🙂
check it out – you will definitely enjoy it 🙂
The Storyteller 
it was funniest way to crop a web page 🙂
Wow. This has to be the Rube Goldberg machine of taking screenshots.
Yes it is fun. 🙂
But if there’s any embedded flash objects in the page… or say Youtube. Then the flash object/ Video will appear to the cropper page even if you dont crop anywhere near it.
Its really really fun. A great way to make things widgetized in a funny way.
nice thing.
slight confusion….
it’s actually not cropping any image, is it?
i think it’s showing the viewer the part s\he want to view from the live site.
@Sadi – you are right 🙂 its cropping the view – heh heh 🙂
wow amazing ……..
its cropping an image but not saved … 🙂
well its a good work !!!!
Just a thought if image hosting service were thrown in with that cropping feature it would become a really great site… (I mean cropped image hosted on the site and user is provided with bbcode/html for sites/forums)
for now its just a good site to play with (wont be returning more than two or three times)…….
btw: I miss gopsop 😦 is there any plan to revive it back?
integrating with services like ping.fm or hellotxt might have made it more effective?
Hello, I am the author of Jcrop. Thank you for posting this most clever hack! I haven’t analyzed the code extensively but I was impressed you did it without any modifications to the code (I need to post an update!). Right? Very nice. Have you tried using a transparent gif or png, and also the option bgColor: ‘transparent’ – could be useful here. Thanks again!
really very nice way to crop site .. 🙂
Is there any way to save the cropped image………from here I saw that, it just cropped the part, but it is very effective if I can save it also…
It’s really a funny way of cropping a site’s view.
he he he ….
Umbra ppl replied email within 18 minutes 😛 Not bad.
Might get their atom server.
Great tool, thanks 🙂
Wow. This has to be the Rube Goldberg machine of taking screenshots.

Please update the link…..
But this only crop the images. It does not crop the website(html pages). How are you guys cropping the website page?
try html2canvans http://html2canvas.hertzen.com/
html2canvans – This script allows you to take “screenshots” of webpages or parts of it, directly on the users browser. The screenshot is based on the DOM and as such may not be 100% accurate to the real representation as it does not make an actual screenshot, but builds the screenshot based on the information available on the page.
