The web is a "stateless" environment. While a person browses the web with a
standard web browser, connections to a website are only opened long enough
to process a client request to or from a server. It is therefore impossible
to use standard HTML to maintain a connection between the client and server.
Without some sort of 3rd-party browser enhancement that coincidentally
cannot be installed without the users's knowledge and approval, what you are
proposing would simply be impossible.
A printscreen probably wouldn't do you any good anyway to capture that kind
of information because based upon the users's screen resolution, how large a
window their browser was in, and what part of the error page they may have
not scrolled to may or not include all the information you want to capture.
A better way to handle errors is by using error-trapping techniques. Errors
write to the server log files, and you could parse through those. Or you
could read into how ColdFusion can handle and report errors to you. Some
people use custom error message templates.
