Loading an image to localStorage and setting an image src to that location

Question

I\'ve successfully allowed for a user to upload an image to local storage but I want to be able to then take that image and fill an image element on the page with that.

Answer 1

Well you can store the actual image data in localStorage (though be wary - there's a limit)

Have a look at the HTML5 rocks tutorial & scroll down to the bit headed READING FILES

Here the file is being read then the output put in the img:src tag. You could additionally put it in localStorage

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/8V9w6/ - select an image file, see the thumbnail? Then reload the page. The thumbnail should remain there. (Works latest Chrome/Firefox)
