Can't change html 5 canvas background

Im using this script to create canvas on which i can paint and then save the picture all together. : 

<script type="text/javascript" src="processing.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

/* @pjs preload="/example.jpg"; */

bg = loadImage("example.jpg");




var canvas, ctx, flag = false,
    prevX = 0,
    currX = 0,
    prevY = 0,
    currY = 0,
    dot_flag = false;

var x = "black",
    y = 2;

function init() {
    canvas = document.getElementById('can');
    ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    w = canvas.width;
    h = canvas.height;

    canvas.addEventListener("mousemove", function (e) {
        findxy('move', e)
    }, false);
    canvas.addEventListener("mousedown", function (e) {
        findxy('down', e)
    }, false);
    canvas.addEventListener("mouseup", function (e) {
        findxy('up', e)
    }, false);
    canvas.addEventListener("mouseout", function (e) {
        findxy('out', e)
    }, false);
}

function color(obj) {
    switch (obj.id) {
        case "green":
            x = "green";
            break;
        case "blue":
            x = "blue";
            break;
        case "red":
            x = "red";
            break;
        case "yellow":
            x = "yellow";
            break;
        case "orange":
            x = "orange";
            break;
        case "black":
            x = "black";
            break;
        case "white":
            x = "white";
            break;
    }
    if (x == "white") y = 14;
    else y = 2;

}

function draw() {
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(prevX, prevY);
    ctx.lineTo(currX, currY);
    ctx.strokeStyle = x;
    ctx.lineWidth = y;
    ctx.stroke();
    ctx.closePath();
}

function erase() {
    var m = confirm("Want to clear");
    if (m) {
        ctx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
        document.getElementById("canvasimg").style.display = "none";
    }
}

function save() {
    document.getElementById("canvasimg").style.border = "2px solid";
    var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
    document.getElementById("canvasimg").src = dataURL;
    document.getElementById("canvasimg").style.display = "inline";
}

function findxy(res, e) {
    if (res == 'down') {
        prevX = currX;
        prevY = currY;
        currX = e.clientX - canvas.offsetLeft;
        currY = e.clientY - canvas.offsetTop;

        flag = true;
        dot_flag = true;
        if (dot_flag) {
            ctx.beginPath();
            ctx.fillStyle = x;
            ctx.fillRect(currX, currY, 2, 2);
            ctx.closePath();
            dot_flag = false;
        }
    }
    if (res == 'up' || res == "out") {
        flag = false;
    }
    if (res == 'move') {
        if (flag) {
            prevX = currX;
            prevY = currY;
            currX = e.clientX - canvas.offsetLeft;
            currY = e.clientY - canvas.offsetTop;
            draw();
        }
    }
}
</script>

But my background stays all white and doesn't change. When i open this website, it says : "loadImage is not defined". Any help will be very apreciated.

First make sure you define a canvas in your HTML file and define the size of your canvas:

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>

So instead of defining canvas in your Javascript, it's much easier to define it in the HTML and grab it in your Javascript.

var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

The context is where you do all the drawing. Now, you can define your loadImage (or not use a method at all if you're only loading one image):

function loadImage(imageSrc, x, y) {
    var image = new Image();
    image.src = imageSrc;
    image.onload = function() {
        context.drawImage(image, x, y);   
    }​
}

Then, you can call that function when the page loads.

If you copy and paste the following code, you should get a working demo (however, there appears to be other issues with saving and clearing that you should look to fix):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML5 Picture</title>
    <script>

    var canvas, ctx, flag = false,
      prevX = 0,
      currX = 0,
      prevY = 0,
      currY = 0,
      dot_flag = false;

    var x = "black",
    y = 2;

    function init() {
    canvas = document.getElementById('can');
    ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

    var loadImage = function (imageSrc, x, y, width, height) {
    var image = new Image();
    image.src = imageSrc;
    image.onload = function() {
        ctx.drawImage(image, x, y, width, height);   
      }
    };

    loadImage("http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110526012910/pokemon/images/4/49/Ash_Pikachu.png", 0, 0, 500, 300);

    w = canvas.width;
