Javascript API for IOS Iphone 3G for camera access

Is there a way to access the IPhone 3G came开发者_运维技巧ra via javascript to capture a photo and then utilize this photo in an HTML POST? I came across an API called PhoneGap but from a search on here it only mentioned for the IPhone 4. I was hoping to find something that would work on the 3G and 3GS models.

Phonegap is an easy solution, and it support camera access for all iPhones.

Supported features: http://www.phonegap.com/features

Although this is an old question, I wanted to add that this feature is coming to The Web and is already implemented in some browsers.

navigator.getMedia = (
    navigator.getUserMedia ||
    navigator.webkitGetUserMedia ||
    navigator.mozGetUserMedia ||
    navigator.msGetUserMedia);

There is a W3C Specification for getUserMedia.

Although this actually gets you video, you can then take a still image from that video stream.

There are lots of APIs coming to the browser - so good times ahead!

Yes, we wrote one last year. Try our git repo for iOS Web Camera — https://github.com/egghaus/iOSWebCamera

It posts through a sinatra app.

PhoneGap does indeed work on 3G and 3GS.

Now, with IO6 you can use the input file type :

<input type=”file”>

directly in your form.

No, there is no way to access camera via JavaScript. You should use the UIWebView delegate to handle user interaction and then call the UIImagePickerController in it's callbacks
