Add-on to copy a page element with styles

I'm looking for an add-on for any browser that could copy any particular web page element with all it's styles to clipboard to be paste-in and show someone.

The aim is to have an opportunity to quickly share a small part of my big project or to assist in writing an article about this HTML and CSS tricks or to inspect a part of someone's else work.

Any ideas? If no such plugin exist, I'll try to write is by myself.

This is probably too late. But if anyone out there looking for the same thing, use SnappySnippet. It was built by Konrad Dzwinel

Firefox Add-on

Chrome extension

More details

It's a great extension.

Haven't seen anyone mention such an extension and a quick search doesn't yield one. You'll probably have to build one yourself.

The excellent Firebug add-on already collects this information, it may be easier to make a Firebug plugin to add the push-button convenience.

Note that this question is tagged as Greasemonkey, but Greasemonkey is not the best tool for this job.

Have you tried the Web Developer addon (firefox/chrome)? Not sure if it does exactly what you are asking for, but it displays the source in-page, allowing you to select specific sections of the page/source. You can use this feature and then copy-paste the relevant element you want to work with. That is if I understood your needs. If not, please clarify...
