Is it possible to access the camera (built-in on Apples) from a browser?
Optimal solution would be client-side javascript. Looking to avoid using Java or Flash.
Answer
The HTML5 spec does allow accessing the webcamera, but last I checked, it is far from finalized, and has very, very little browser support.

You'll probably have to use flash if you want it to work cross-browser.
