Printable Drag Drop Page . . . HELP?

[Aloha Kay]

I am busy creating a drag and drop (Create your own scene). I want to have several backgrounds to choose from but I don't want them all over the page. I don't want there to be too much scrolling involved.

Can anyone help me find a code or codes that will work together and allow my visitors to create their scene and print it?

Here's the page (It's under construction) for you to view. Perhaps it will help you see what I'm trying to do. I will warn you however that I am a Bee Gees Fanatic so beware when you click the link . . .

Thanks to anyone who can help.

First, change the color of your text so it differs from the background.

Second, that doesn't work because javascript (esp. current settings) doesn't print.

So... basically.... not gonna work.

Several options, though none are great:
1. Use flash/java/etc. to code something similar. (though similar printing issues may apply in some cases, and it would be a lot of work.)
2. do a print screen, and print that image. However, that's more than you'd want to ask the average viewer. (find for your personal use, though, if that's all you'd want)
3. The most complex, though only answer I can see that would work for it really, would be to use AJAX and PHP along with PHP's GD library for images. Just send the values from the javascript (using ajax) to a php script that will take those positions and put "that image there", then output an image. Look up more info on php's gd library if interested. This IS advanced server side coding, though, and if what I've said sounds confusing, I guarantee coding that would be.
4. The only other thing I can suggest is googling for an answer... but I wouldn't be too hopeful. Sorry.

Thank You. I will look up AJAX and PHP and see if I can make things out.
