JavaScript: getting ImageData without canvas

by

You have to create an in memory canvas and then draw on this canvas the image :

var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var img = document.getElementById('myimg');
canvas.width = img.width;
canvas.height = img.height;
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0 );
var myData = context.getImageData(0, 0, img.width, img.height);

But this won’t work if the image comes from another domain. This is a security restriction you can’t get around if you have no control of the server (be careful that if you open your html file with file:// you’ll have a lot of additional restrictions, use http://)
