Using jquery to add to model

[Richard]

Not sure this is the right forum for this but here goes. I have a mobile app that gets an image via the camera. It puts the contents of the image into the variable 'imageData' I then use jquery:

$('#smallImage').attr('src', "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData);

into the image:

<img id="smallImage" width="100%" data-bind="attr: { src: Robot.Picture }">

that works fine as far as display goes. It does not however add it to "Robot"

I am using jaydata to save the data to a local database and the model has a lot of fields (all text inputs) and they all data-bind fine. 

Any ideas?

It never fails, I post a question then almost immediately I figure it out. I had to push the variable into the model via:

viewModel.Robot.set('Picture', imageData);

Added that right before the sync and all was right in my world. Hopefully this might helps someone else.
