Does HTML 5's BlobBuilder() still work in Google Chrome?

Question

Based in this article http://cloudevils.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/ajax-file-upload-without-post-using-html5/ I created a form to upload files. Initially works fine in chrome but now is not workin more. In FF work fine. I made some debugs and this line

var bb = new (window.MozBlobBuilder || window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.BlobBuilder)();

seems stop working in chrome. Browsering around I find some info about BlobBuilder() function that is not supported more in chrome.

Can help me?

Solution

It's gone or deprecated. Use the new Blob constructor.

In your tutorial instead of:

var bb = new (window.MozBlobBuilder || window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.BlobBuilder)();
bb.append(data);
var blob = bb.getBlob();

Do:

var blob = new Blob([data]);

looks like getBlob is also deprecated, you have to pass the object directly.
