Problem solved, read comment
The third problem I have with the HTML5 File API: I still use Chrome 12 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and I'm still trying to read files with the HTML5 File API, but FileHandler.error() get called because a "SECURITY_ERR" occurres. The file I try to read is a regular .txt file from my desktop, but it neither works with other files although I can open them with regular applications.
function FileHandler(files, action) {
console.log('FileHandler called.');
this.files = files;
this.reader = new FileReader();
this.action = action;
this.handle = function() {
console.log('FileHandler.handle called.');
for (var i = 0; i < this.files.length; i++) {
this.reader.readAsDataURL(files[i]);
}
}
this.upload = function() {
console.log('FileHandler.upload called.');
console.log(this.reader);
data = {
content: this.reader.result
}
console.log(data);
}
this.error = function() {
console.log('An error occurred while reading the file.');
console.log(this.reader.error);
}
this.reader.onload = this.upload.bind(this);
this.reader.onerror = this.error.bind(this);
}
The code generates the following console output: http://cl.ly/1x1o2F0l2m3L1T2c0H0i
