Quoting Ian Hickson <ian at hixie.ch>: >> http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#todataurl0 defines that >> for unsupported values UAs must return PNG. How about returning null >> instead for unsupported types? Where there any reasons to go with >> something else? > > If you want a data: URL, you primarily want a data: URL. The type is > secondary. Thus getting null is never useful. If you want data: URL of a specific type, you primarily want a data: URL of a specific type. (Otherwise you would just do toDataURL() without mentioning the type at all and get a nice PNG back.) Doing string checks to see if that succeeded is more error prone than just doing `if(c.toDataURL(test))` or a try/catch(e) statement. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
