I need to take a javascript off of a website and make it into an image. I know you can use the Print Screen button, but I'm not completely sure on how to use it. Help ASAP.Thank you.

"Print Screen" copies whatever is onscreen when you press it. Then you can paste it elsewhere. You cannot do it that way. Try going to 'View' then 'View Source'. That shows you the source code, which you can copy onto your site.

push print screen, then go to paint, go to edit, then click paste. IT saves a picture of the screen. After that, save the image

When you press print screen it captures the whole screen. Press print screen and go to any image program then just paste and crop.

The sole function of this key is to take a snapshot or picture of your computer screen and copy it to the clipboard (the clipboard is an invisible holding area for content that is copied). Its the same thing as if you copied something from a document and it is now on your clipboard waiting to be pasted in its final destination. Or there is always the ALT + Print Screen combination which will only take a screenshot of the "currently selected" window... Not the "entire" screen.
