Resize image before submit the form html5

Question

I need to resize an image in the client and add it to the form before submit.

Here is the full html:

<html>
   <body>
      <form action="url">
         <label><b>Avatar image:</b></label>
         <input type="file" id="imageLoader" name="avatar" onchange="return ShowImagePreview( this, 0 );" /><br />    
         <canvas id="imageCanvas" class="previewcanvas" width="133" height="100"></canvas>
         <br />
         <input type="submit" value="Save" />
      </form>
      <script>
         var imageLoader = document.getElementById('imageLoader');
         function HandleFileEvent( event, selection )
         {
             var img = new Image; 
             img.onload = function( event ) { UpdatePreviewCanvas( event, img, selection ) }
             img.src = event.target.result;
         }

         function ShowImagePreview( object, selection )
         {
             if( typeof object.files === "undefined" )
                 return;

             var files = object.files;

             if( !( window.File && window.FileReader && window.FileList && window.Blob ) )
             {
               alert('The File APIs are not fully supported in this browser.');
               return false;
             }

             if( typeof FileReader === "undefined" )
             {
                 alert( "Filereader undefined!" );
                 return false;
             }

             var file = files[0];

             if( file !== undefined && file != null && !( /image/i ).test( file.type ) )
             {
                 alert( "File is not an image." );
                 return false;
             }

             reader = new FileReader();
             reader.onload = function( event ) { HandleFileEvent( event, selection ) }
             reader.readAsDataURL( file );
         }

         function UpdatePreviewCanvas( event, img, selection )
         {    
             var canvas = document.getElementById('imageCanvas');
             var context = canvas.getContext( '2d' );

             var world = new Object();
             world.width = canvas.offsetWidth;
             world.height = canvas.offsetHeight;

             canvas.width = world.width;
             canvas.height = world.height;

             var WidthDif = img.width - world.width;
             var HeightDif = img.height - world.height;

             var Scale = 0.0;
             if( WidthDif > HeightDif )
             {
                 Scale = world.width / img.width;
             }
             else
             {
                 Scale = world.height / img.height;
             }
             if( Scale > 1 )
                 Scale = 1;

             var UseWidth = Math.floor( img.width * Scale );
             var UseHeight = Math.floor( img.height * Scale );

             var x = Math.floor( ( world.width - UseWidth ) / 2 );
             var y = Math.floor( ( world.height - UseHeight ) / 2 );

             context.drawImage( img, x, y, UseWidth, UseHeight );  
         }
      </script>
  </body>
</html>

Where I thought of is to put the image to the canvas but I do not know how to bring it back to input.

You can use the expanded version of drawImage to resize your original image.

The expanded version pulls the full original image from [0,0] and img.width x img.height.

Then scales the original and draws the scaled version on the canvas at [0,0]

context.drawImage(  img, 0,0,img.width,img.height,  0,0,UseWidth,UseHeight );
