Hello, as i wrote in the title i would like to use html2canvas without internet access, i wanted to use again a code for a template that i already have but it works only with internet access because it uses:
```auto
```
how can i achieve the same result without internet access? i tried to paste inside
```auto
```
the whole file present in [https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/dist/html2canvas.min.js](https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/dist/html2canvas.min.js) but it doesn't seem to work, thanks you

Where did you put it?
Assuming you are using `node-red-dashboard` (legacy) or `@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard` you can add that to a template node and it will add `html2canvas` to the `window object

It is much better to grab copies of the files from the Internet and then put them manually into a folder that you then define that folder in settings.js to be the `httpStatic` folder.
Having done that, you can change the existing script links to point to the static url in node-red.
Just remember to update the files occasionally from the Internet current versions.

I think that i don't have access to setting.js with my version of nodered (for ctrlx) this is why i was trying others solutions

I copied the whole .js file and paste it inside in a template node of the dashboard in which i have written the code to add the download button and all the code to generate the pdf to download

I tested putting the full code in a dashboard 2 (`@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard`) ui-template node between `` tags & the `html2canvas` function was available in the `window` object (i.e. it does work).
I havent tried with a ui\_template on legacy dashboard (the older `node-red-dashboard`)

I usually create an http endpoint for this that serves the javascript files which can be included with ``

if you are serving via http nodes as an endpoint, you should be serving the js without the script tags and add a `content-type` header set to `application/javascript`
