JavaScript, Base64 image decoding and display

I would like to use JavaScript to decode a base64 encoded string and display it as a image in a browser, is that possible with JavaScript?

Yes.

You're very vague, so it's difficult to be more specific. I'll assume that you can send the Base64 data to the client, so you can do something like:

      var Picture = document.createElement('img');
       Picture.src = 'data:image/gif;base64,' + myBase64Data;

Then you insert this where you want it.

OK, let me explain my question again.

The server encodes the bitmap into base64 string, send to the client through a XML document, the client decodes it in JavaScript and needs to display the bitmap image in the browser. Therefore I guess I will need instructions on the client side to:

(1) do base64 decoding to a binary object
(2) display image in the browser
