image-preloader

I have the following code that presents the user with a preview of the image they're trying to upload and works really well in FF:

var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = $('#imageUploader').get(0).files[0].getAsDataURL();

The problem is, getAsDataURL() only works in FF. Is there something similar/a workaround for this kind of functionality in Chrome (specifically)?
