(Note: Not Selenium Remote Control)

Answer 1

Java

Yes, it is possible. The following example is in Java:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
// Now you can do whatever you need to do with it, for example copy somewhere
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\tmp\screenshot.png"));
