function make_base_auth(username, password) {
    console.log("Generating Base64 token");
    var token = username + ':' + password;  
    var hash = $.base64.encode(token);  
    base_auth = "Basic " + hash;
    return base_auth;
}

I have downloaded the plugin from below url. but its not working.

Did you make sure to include the script after including the jQuery script?

<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.0/jquery.min.js'></script>
<!-- include extension -->
<script src='jquery.base64.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
