I'm pretty new to JS and programming altogether so I'm sorry in advance if the explanation is a little sloppy, but I'll try to make it as clear as possible.
So what I'm trying to do is have a JS code that reads and displays (in an HTML page) photos from a PC folder, makes them clickable and on the click it redirects you to a page with the same photo but in high resolution.
Now, I have this piece of code that displays the said pictures, but the thing is I don't seem to be able to figure out how to "connect" it to the pictures and make them clickable. What makes it more difficult is that I'm trying to make all of this code dynamic (as you can see I've done in the below code), so I would like not to have any hardcoded titles of pictures and so on.
var index = 1;
var tempImg = new Image();
tempImg.onload = function(){
appendImage();
}
var tryLoadImage = function(index){
tempImg.src = 'img/' + index + '.jpg';
}
var appendImage = function(){
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = tempImg.src;
document.body.appendChild(img)
tryLoadImage(index++);
}
tryLoadImage(index);
Any help is very much appreciated, thank you very much!
You can make your images clickable by adding an onclick function to them. Try something like this:
var appendImage = function(){
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = tempImg.src;
img.onclick = e => {
// do something you want to show the full picture like this maybe
var el = document.getElementById("fullpictureid");
if (el && e.target.src) {
el.src = e.target.src;
// so that it sets "src" in <img id="fullpictureid"> for example
}
};
document.body.appendChild(img)
tryLoadImage(index++);
}
So for one of my labs, I'm trying to get a blurred image with one src to appear as a clear image from a different source. So far I've only managed to change the blurred image to the clear image, but not the other way around.
So far, I have the if statement and a string indexOf as a part of my lab requirements. Now bear in mind that by my instructions, I'm not allowed to edit any HTML for this project.
function toggleImages(){
//(document.getElementById("clickimage").src = 'images/lab9_blurred');
//console.log(str.indexOf("clickimage"));
//var images = 'images/lab9_blurred.jpg';
var str = "images/lab9_blurred.jpg";
console.log(str.indexOf("blurred"));
var str = "images/lab9_clear.jpg";
console.log(str.indexOf("clear"))
//click it once, it's true, click it again, it's false. That's what should happen. But how do we do that?
//If image = "images/lab9_blurred.jpg" then for variable image we get clickimage, set variable name to lab 9 clear, and set image source to name.
//if (fake == true){
if (str.indexOf("blurred") == 12){
var image = document.getElementById("clickimage");
var name = "images/lab9_blurred.jpg";
image.src = name;
console.log(str.indexOf("blurred"));
}
else if (str.indexOf("clear") == 12)
{
var image = document.getElementById("clickimage");
var name = "images/lab9_clear.jpg";
image.src = name;
console.log(str.indexOf("clear"));
}
};
window.onload = init;
Hi try following code...
function toggleImages(){
var image = document.getElementById("clickimage");
if (image.src.indexOf("blurred") == 12)
{
var str = "images/lab9_clear.jpg";
console.log(str.indexOf("clear"))
}
else
{
var str = "images/lab9_blurred.jpg";
console.log(str.indexOf("blurred"));
}
image.src = str;
};
window.onload = init;
the main thing that I am trying to do is get this simple image uploader to also allow the user to enter and store a description along with the image that is uploaded. Also some way to clear the images stored once they are in the preview.
What I currently have is
<html>
<body>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function main()
{
var inputFileToLoad = document.createElement("input");
inputFileToLoad.type = "file";
inputFileToLoad.id = "inputFileToLoad";
document.body.appendChild(inputFileToLoad);
var buttonLoadFile = document.createElement("button");
buttonLoadFile.onclick = loadImageFileAsURL;
buttonLoadFile.textContent = "Load Selected File";
document.body.appendChild(buttonLoadFile);
}
function loadImageFileAsURL()
{
var filesSelected = document.getElementById("inputFileToLoad").files;
if (filesSelected.length > 0)
{
var fileToLoad = filesSelected[0];
if (fileToLoad.type.match("image.*"))
{
var fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.onload = function(fileLoadedEvent)
{
var imageLoaded = document.createElement("img");
imageLoaded.src = fileLoadedEvent.target.result;
document.body.appendChild(imageLoaded);
};
fileReader.readAsDataURL(fileToLoad);
}
}
}
main();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
To get a description just create another input element within the form. Your code is not showing how you actually upload the image. So I guess it's a form with a POST action?
To clear the image, just add a button that removes the "img" element. For ease of use, just make the "imageLoaded" global and then remove that from the DOM when pressing that button.
I have a canvas element with a drawing in it, and I want to create a button that when clicked on, it will save the image as a png file. So it should open up the save, open, close dialog box...
I do it using this code
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
window.open(canvas.toDataURL("image/png"));
But when I test it out in IE9, a new window opens up saying "the web page cannot be displayed"
and the url of it is:
data:image/png;base64,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
Anyone know how to fix this?
try this:
var canvas = document.getElementById("alpha");
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
var newTab = window.open('about:blank','image from canvas');
newTab.document.write("<img src='" + dataURL + "' alt='from canvas'/>");
This shows image from canvas on new page, but if you have open popup in new tab setting it shows about:blank in address bar.
EDIT:- though window.open("<img src='"+ canvas.toDataURL('image/png') +"'/>") does not work in FF or Chrome, following works though rendering is somewhat different from what is shown on canvas, I think transparency is the issue:
window.open(canvas.toDataURL('image/png'));
FileSaver.js should be able to help you here.
var canvas = document.getElementById("my-canvas");
// draw to canvas...
canvas.toBlob(function(blob) {
saveAs(blob, "pretty image.png");
});
To accomodate all three points:
button
save the image as a png file
open up the save, open, close dialog box
The file dialog is a setting in the browser.
For the button/save part assign the following function, boiled down from other answers, to your buttons onclick:
function DownloadCanvasAsImage(){
let downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
downloadLink.setAttribute('download', 'CanvasAsImage.png');
let canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
let dataURL = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
let url = dataURL.replace(/^data:image\/png/,'data:application/octet-stream');
downloadLink.setAttribute('href', url);
downloadLink.click();
}
Example on Codepen
Another, somewhat cleaner, approach is using Canvas.toBlob():
function DownloadCanvasAsImage(){
let downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
downloadLink.setAttribute('download', 'CanvasAsImage.png');
let canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
canvas.toBlob(function(blob) {
let url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
downloadLink.setAttribute('href', url);
downloadLink.click();
});
}
Example on Codepen
Neither solution is 100% cross browser compatible, so check the client
I used this solution to set the file name:
HTML:
Download!
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
JavaScript:
function download(){
document.getElementById("downloader").download = "image.png";
document.getElementById("downloader").href = document.getElementById("canvas").toDataURL("image/png").replace(/^data:image\/[^;]/, 'data:application/octet-stream');
}
I had this problem and this is the best solution without any external or additional script libraries:
In Javascript tags or file create this function:
We assume here that canvas is your canvas:
function download(){
var download = document.getElementById("download");
var image = document.getElementById("canvas").toDataURL("image/png")
.replace("image/png", "image/octet-stream");
download.setAttribute("href", image);
}
In the body part of your HTML specify the button:
<a id="download" download="image.png"><button type="button" onClick="download()">Download</button></a>
This is working and download link looks like a button. Tested in Firefox and Chrome.
I maybe discovered a better way for not forcing the user to right click and "save image as". Live draw the canvas base64 code into the href of the link and modify it so the download will start automatically. I don't know if it's universally browser compatible, but it should work with the main/new browsers.
var canvas = document.getElementById('your-canvas');
if (canvas.getContext) {
var C = canvas.getContext('2d');
}
$('#your-canvas').mousedown(function(event) {
// feel free to choose your event ;)
// just for example
// var OFFSET = $(this).offset();
// var x = event.pageX - OFFSET.left;
// var y = event.pageY - OFFSET.top;
// standard data to url
var imgdata = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
// modify the dataUrl so the browser starts downloading it instead of just showing it
var newdata = imgdata.replace(/^data:image\/png/,'data:application/octet-stream');
// give the link the values it needs
$('a.linkwithnewattr').attr('download','your_pic_name.png').attr('href',newdata);
});
You can wrap the <a> around anything you want.
Submit a form that contains an input with value of canvas toDataURL('image/png') e.g
//JAVASCRIPT
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var url = canvas.toDataUrl('image/png');
Insert the value of the url to your hidden input on form element.
//PHP
$data = $_POST['photo'];
$data = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $data);
$data = base64_decode($data);
file_put_contents("i". rand(0, 50).".png", $data);
Try this:
jQuery('body').after('<a id="Download" target="_blank">Click Here</a>');
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvasID');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
document.getElementById('Download').addEventListener('click', function() {
downloadCanvas(this, 'canvas', 'test.png');
}, false);
function downloadCanvas(link, canvasId, filename) {
link.href = document.getElementById(canvasId).toDataURL();
link.Download = filename;
}
You can just put this code in console in firefox or chrom and after changed your canvas tag ID in this above script and run this script in console.
After the execute this code you will see the link as text "click here" at bottom of the html page. click on this link and open the canvas drawing as a PNG image in new window save the image.

I really like Tovask's answer but it doesn't work due to the function having the name download (this answer explains why). I also don't see the point in replacing "data:image/..." with "data:application/...".
The following code has been tested in Chrome and Firefox and seems to work fine in both.
JavaScript:
function prepDownload(a, canvas, name) {
a.download = name
a.href = canvas.toDataURL()
}
HTML:
Download
<canvas id="canvasId"></canvas>
My solution via vue and async support
async downloadImage () {
const canvas = this.$refs.canvas
const blob = await new Promise(resolve => canvas.toBlob(resolve))
const downloadLink = document.createElement('a')
downloadLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
downloadLink.download = 'mycanvasimage.png'
downloadLink.click()
}
var canvasId = chart.id + '-canvas';
var canvasDownloadId = chart.id + '-download-canvas';
var canvasHtml = Ext.String.format('<canvas id="{0}" width="{1}" height="{2}"></canvas><a id="{3}"/>',
canvasId,
chart.getWidth(),
chart.getHeight(),
canvasDownloadId);
var canvasElement = reportBuilder.add({ html: canvasHtml });
var canvas = document.getElementById(canvasId);
var canvasDownload = document.getElementById(canvasDownloadId);
canvasDownload.href = chart.getImage().data;
canvasDownload.download = 'chart';
canvasDownload.click();
I have a javascript widget which fetches articles from Wikipedia through MediaWiki API (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=render). It's an app for Samsung Smart TVs. Now the text part works fine, but it won't display any images because the img src is structured like this:
"//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:example.jpg"
and I've come to realize by using a PC emulator that the Samsung firmware converts it to this type of full url:
"file://localhost/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:example.jpg"
Is it possible to add "http:" to the src so that the app points to the correct links hence displaying both thumbnails and full-size images?
Here's the relevant part of the js code:
UIContents.showImage = function(srcURLFromWikiPage, showHigherResolution) {
// alert("UIContents.fillDescription()");
var cutURL = srcURLFromWikiPage;
//document.getElementById('UIContentsImgFrameiFrame').href = srcURL;
//window.frames.UIContentsImgFrameiFrame.location.href = srcURL + "#file";
//prepare link for full-size picture:
//cutURL = cutURL.replace('thumb/','');
//cutURL = cutURL.substring(0, cutURL.lastIndexOf('/'));
//show preview thumb version
//if (cutURL.match(/\.svg$/)) cutURL = srcURLFromWikiPage;
alert('img src: ' + cutURL);
//show preview thumb version
var elemImg = document.getElementById('UIContentsImgFrameImage');
document.getElementById('UIContentsImgFrame').style.display = 'block';
//set image source
if (showHigherResolution == true) elemImg.onload = 'UIContents.resizeImage()';
elemImg.alt = 'loading...';
elemImg.src = cutURL;
elemImg.style.visibility = 'hidden';
elemImg.style.visibility = 'visible';
imageViewIsOpened = true;
document.getElementById('UISearchField').style.visibility = 'hidden';
document.getElementById('UISearchTextInput').style.visibility = 'hidden';
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
var cutURL = srcURLFromWikiPage.replace("file://localhost/","http://");
