Download an image, save it to IndexedDB, read it out, display the image via createObjectURL - works in Chrome and Firefox. Based on https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/02/storing-images-and-files-in-indexeddb/ but with fixes made for Chrome.

i am getting an error in the same code for chrome
failed to execute transaction on IDBDatabase:one of the specified object stores were not found

I'm getting this error. Please helpp.
Uncaught ReadOnlyError: Failed to execute 'put' on 'IDBObjectStore': The transaction is read-only.

// Chrome can't store blobs at the moment.

Is this still up to date?
