Why does canvas.toDataURL() throw a security exception?

Question

Did I not get enough sleep or what? This following code

var frame=document.getElementById(\"viewer\");
frame.width=100;
frame.height=100;

var ctx=frame.getC         


        

Answer 1

I'm using fabric.js and could resolve this by using toDatalessJSON instead of toDataURL:

canvas.toDatalessJSON({ format: 'jpeg' }).objects[0].src

Edit: Nevermind. This results in just the background image being exported to JPG, without the drawing on top so it was not entirely useful after all.
