JavaScript Client Library

Question

Can I download a user's profile photo and upload it using JavaScript Client Library??

Answer 1

If you want to just retrieve the file then you are best off just using an img tag and changing where it points to, but, if you want to access the hard drive of the user, it really depends on how limited of browser support you want.

You may want to look at DOM Storage though.

In Firefox 3.6 they added a File API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_files_from_web_applications
