I was just reading through the HTML5 spec <canvas>, and found out that you can ask a canvas object to return it's content as a PNG or JPEG file. I see that it returns it in Firefox as a base64 encoded string.
There might be some use for this, though I can't think of what right now. Maybe this allows you to write a simple photoshop-like bitmap editor app and then capture the bitmap and send it back to the server, for example. -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [email protected]
