How do i upload a picture that i took from a webcam, i've found a code that worked (only on Chrome)
i've used the code, and when clic on Take picture, i got the picture but i dont see it on the source?
<video autoplay id="vid" style="display:none;"></video>
<canvas id="canvas" width="640" height="480" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3;"></canvas><br>
<button onclick="snapshot()">Take Picture</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
var video = document.querySelector("#vid");
var canvas = document.querySelector('#canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var localMediaStream = null;
var onCameraFail = function (e) {
console.log('Camera did not work.', e);
};
function snapshot() {
if (localMediaStream) {
ctx.drawImage(video, 0, 0);
}
}
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia;
window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
navigator.getUserMedia({video:true}, function (stream) {
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
localMediaStream = stream;
}, onCameraFail);
</script>
How do i add it to a form that have a picture element
<input name="avatar" class="avatar" type="file" required>
as you can see, the field is required, so if it is added to that field the form will see it as a non-empty?
Why it dont work on Opera? i use Opera 12.15
Update: i found how to convert to canvas to image, but dont know how to fill it in the image:
a = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg")
document.getElementById("avatar").src = a
if i use the javascript console, i get the source, but if i validate the form, the form thinks that the image is still missing and it is blank.
any ideas?
