I am using the following code
HTML Code for the Canvas and the image
<canvas id=myCanvas style=display:none width=400 height=400></canvas>
<img id=canvasImg />
JavaScript code for fetching the image from the server and displaying on the canvas followed by displaying the image
var canvas = document.getElementById(myCanvas);
var ctx = canvas.getContext(2d);
baseimage = new Image();
baseimage.src = 'what.jpg';
baseimage.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(baseimage,1,1);
}
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(image/png);
document.getElementById('canvasImg').src = dataURL;
$(#myCanvas).show();
The image is being displayed but without the what.jpg file. On the Canvas the file is visiible but in the IMG tag nothing can be seen. I am running this on the latest version of Chrome.
