I don't remember discussion of recording divs (though there may have been)... though there has been discussion of recording tabs. Firefox has a tab-sharing API, but it's not accessible by web apps at this time; it was used in the former built-in Hello service. Chrome also has one, as chromeMediaSource: tab, but I believe that's only available to installed Chrome-only extensions. Generic use (as in Hello - not the current tab) requires some API for selecting the tab as well. There are significant security issues about sharing data that may not be visible to the user, and more to the point explaining to them the privacy/security impact of this (thus why Chrome is limiting it). -- Randell Jesup -- rjesup a t mozilla d o t com Please please please don't email randell-ietf@jesup.org!
