I'm trying to display an image selected from the local machine and I need the location of that image for a JavaScript function. But I'm unable to get the location.
To get the image location, I tried using console.log, but nothing returns.
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview"));
Here's the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center" style="padding-top: 50px">
<img align="center" id="uploadPreview" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" />
</div>
<div align="center" style="padding-left: 30px">
<input id="uploadImage" type="file" name="myPhoto" onchange="PreviewImage();" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreviewImage() {
var oFReader = new FileReader();
oFReader.readAsDataURL(document.getElementById("uploadImage").files[0]);
oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {
document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = oFREvent.target.result;
console.log(document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src);
};
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Console Output:
Here's the warning:
DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for chrome-extension://alplpnakfeabeiebipdmaenpmbgknjce/include.preload.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
That's because Chrome added support for source maps.
Go to the developer tools (F12 in the browser), then select the three dots in the upper right corner, and go to Settings.
Then, look for Sources, and disable the options:
If you do that, that would get rid of the warnings. It has nothing to do with your code. Check the developer tools in other pages and you will see the same warning.
Go to Developer tools → Settings → Console → tick "Selected context only". The warnings will be hidden. You can see them again by unticking the same box.
The "Selected context only" means only the top, iframe, worker and extension contexts. Which is all that you'll need, the vast majority of the time.
The include.prepload.js file will have a line like below, probably as the last line:
//# sourceMappingURL=include.prepload.js.map
Delete it and the error will go away.
