How to let the user select an image from camera or from local folder? (JavaScript)

Hi guys,

Does anybody know how to do this?. I want the user be able to select a picture for his/her profile, and give the chance to select from a new picture taken with the camera or select one already saved in the mobile/computer.

Cheers,

Jorge

maybe this article could help: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/

this one seems even easier: http://zurb.com/playground/ajax-upload I don't know whether it only works in foundation... you'll have to check...

Cheers, Marc
