Javascript: convert base64 to blob

// doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs

// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0]
// write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer

var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);

}
// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
var bb = new Blob([ab]);
