There's no real EASY way to do this. However, if you're adventurous... * Create a Windows Forms application * Embed a browser in the application and have it browse to a URL that contains your div * Have the application take a screenshot of itself. * Save it to disk.

Then when the user makes changes, have your server open up the Win Forms application that you created in a separate process.
