I would like to capture images without PhoneGap, I found reading this article

http://www.raymondcamden.com/index.cfm/2013/5/20/Capturing-camerapicture-data-without-PhoneGap

shows that this type of input:

<input type=”file” capture=”camera” accept=”image/*” id=”takePictureField”>

I tried to change the attributes of the input at runtime without great results.

I would like to ask:
1) if you can change them?
2) if you can not have in the future are going to implement this new type of input?

thanks for your attention

No you can not generally change the type attribute of an <input> element. (At least that has been our experience in the past for similar experiments). As you have indicated there are some cool new capabilities coming to web browsers soon.

You may consider an experiment using an html widget that includes use a styled <input> element. If you give this a go please share your results. We are always interested in cool new techniques.

Alessandro,

I have put together a small demo to make use of the feature you mentioned.
I am not sure if this version of the task will suit your needs.
FWIW, it was a good exercise.

You need to replace the initial image file I used with something else from your system.
Then when you take a picture, it will replace the one in the display.

thanks for the replies and the example working perfectly.
Continuing my research I found the following article:
  http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/
unfortunately that is not yet available at runtime, when will you open up infinite possibilities for our professional developers.

Merry Christmas to all
Alessandro

tguneysu,

I downloaded and tried to open your .mobi attachment but my program Calibri couldn’t open it. May I ask you to submit it again as a simple zip file ? I would really like to study your sample code. Thanks.

Are you a M1 user ?
You need the program to load and read the contents of mobi files.
