How do you convert an html div to image and then save as gif or png?

Question

I have tried figuring out a multitude of coded div to image methods on stackoverflow and across the internet. The codes aren't working for me, because none of methods are exactly what I need and I'm screwing up the code with my modifications to fit what I need.

Anyway, a few minutes ago I found someone who is actually applying the code to divs that are set up like mine. Please take a look at his/her tool (it's what I am doing just with a few more images):

http://kpomservices.com/html5canvas/indexsucc.html

and his/her blueprint (source file):

view-source:http://kpomservices.com/html5canvas/indexsucc.html

This is what I did:

I copied the scripts from the source file (found after </body> tag):

<script src="js/html2canvas.js"></script> <script src="js/base64.js"></script> <script src="js/canvas2image.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
I pasted it into my header file above the </head>.
I replaced all src="" with complete urls (they aren't hosted on my servers yet, because I'm testing to see if this will even work for me first).

I copied the function script from http://kpomservices.com/HTML_to_Canvas.php:

function convert() {
                dom = document.getElementById('watch');

                // execute the html2canvas script
                var script,
                $this = this,
                options = this.options,
                runH2c = function(){
                    try {
                        var canvas =     window.html2canvas([ document.getElementById('watch') ], {
                            onrendered: function( canvas ) {

                            /*
                            canvas is the actual canvas element,
                            to append it to the page call for example
                            */
                            window.open(canvas.toDataURL());
                            //document.body.appendChild( canvas );
                            }
                        });
                    } catch( e ) {
                        $this.h2cDone = true;
                        log("Error in html2canvas: " + e.message);
                    }
                };

                if ( window.html2canvas === undefined && script === undefined ) {
                } else {.
                    // html2canvas already loaded, just run it then
                    runH2c();
                }
            }

I pasted it, as is, between <script></script> tags in the header file.
I replaced both (2) instances document.getElementById('watch') with my div id name: document.getElementById('captme').

I copied and pasted the displaybox styling from the source file and pasted it before the </head> in header file (I also tried adding it to the css file only, but that didn't work, either):

<style>
#displaybox {
z-index: 10000;
filter: alpha(opacity=50); /*older IE*/
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50); /* IE */
-moz-opacity: .50; /*older Mozilla*/
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;   /*older Safari*/
opacity: 0.5;   /*supported by current Mozivalidate-textlla, Safari, and Opera*/
background-color:#000000;
position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; width:100%; height:100%; color:#FFFFFF; text-align:center; vertical-align:middle;
}
</style>

8) I copied and pasted just these two lines from the source file (I don't need the other two buttons) into the index file after <?php get_header(); ?>:

<div id="displaybox" style="display: none;"></div>
<input type="button" value="View As Image" onClick="javascript:return convert();">

9) I copied and pasted this line from the source file into the index file after the <div id="captme">:

<canvas id="localcanvas" style="display:none" width=500 height=500></canvas>

10) All that and nothing works. I can click on the button but it renders nothing.

What went wrong? Thanks for any guidance you share!

This is working for me. It renders picture from div solnePuzzle and post to PHP script via ajax post. In PHP script save.php, I base_64 decode and save content via file_put_content to img.

html2canvas js

function capture() {
    $("#solnePuzzle").html2canvas({
        onrendered: function (e) {
            $("#img_val").val(e.toDataURL("image/png"));
            var t = $("#myForm").serializeArray();
            $.ajax({
                url: "save.php",
                type: "POST",
                dataType: "json",
                data: {
                    box: box,
                    form: t
                },
                success: function (e) {
                    alert(e.text)
                }
            })
        }
    })
}
