canvas.toDataURL() not working properly except mozilla firefox

Question

I have developed a coupon generator module in the site I create a coupon in the html format and fill that html value in canvas by using JavaScript function which is

function checkcanvas(id) {
    var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    var data = "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='437' height='262'>" 
        +  "<foreignObject width='100%' height='100%'>"
        + "<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' style='font-size:40px'>"
        +  $("#coupon_td").html()
        + "</div>"
        + "</foreignObject>"
        + "</svg>";

    var DOMURL = self.URL || self.webkitURL || self;
    var img = new Image();
    var svg = new Blob([data], {type: "image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8"});
    var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svg);
    img.onload = function() {
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
    };
    img.src = url;

    if(id == 2) {
        document.getElementById('base_64_img').value = canvas.toDataURL();
    }
}

base_64_img is just a hidden element so I can post the data into my php code and create a image using base64 code.

The biggest issue I am facing that this code perfectly worked in Mozilla Firefox almost every version but not working in Google chrome.

In your code you are generating an "SVG IMAGE" and trying to convert into toDataURL().

var svg = new Blob([data], {type: "image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8"});

This is the problem, from this URL toDataURL :

If the type requested is not image/png, and the returned value starts with data:image/png, then the requested type is not supported.

In this fiddlecode if you see the printed output , "data:image/png;base64". its supposed to be "data:image/svg;base64".

Instead of creating svg image, use canvas element and javascript to draw the related banner image and if you take the output then try copy & paste in your browser. ( it may work ).

Check this js plugin called SVG.toDataURL

Hope this helps.
