Not really what I was getting at! <br><br>I'm suggesting an element that allows the _capture_ of video or still images - from a camera (webcam) accessible from the browser. The video or still image can then be transferred to a server.<br>

<div class="im">> Any thoughts about adding a camera or webcam tag to the HTML5 spec?<br>
