Hey ThemeForest developers 
I need some help with HTML5 .. In my latest item I am using HTML5 techniques that include FileReader. The FileReader function only works in Chrome & FireFox, so I am looking for an alternative which will work in all of the other browsers.
Thanks Adam

Check out https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-browser-Polyfills
I think there is one in there that patches the FileReader API in non supporting browsers.

I think this is the one, right? I didn’t fully understand what exactly does it do? His demo uses FileReader() and it doesn’t work in Safari.. Thank you very much!
Drew, please? I am really hopeless.

I missed your reply earlier, doh! Sorry Adam, I am just aware of the page I linked you to, but I don’t have a bunch of experience using FileReader unfortunately.
Want me to move this to the CodeCanyon forums to see if that might help?
