Send base64 string image to form input field

Question

I have a plugin which crops my image and sends back a base64 data that looks like this: data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQ...

Question is how can I send that data to my file input field? If I do $("input#file").val(img); where img is my base64 string I get SecurityError: The operation is insecure.

Answer 1

you can not set the value of a file input field . There may be other alternatives such as setting the base 64 value to a hidden input field and then submitting the form.
