Question

Hey, I’m looking for a way to take a black and white img element, and using JavaScript, specify an RGB value so that the image becomes that color. Any ideas (aside from libraries)?

Also I’m trying to do this with IE only. The reason I’m doing it in IE only is because I’m making a small sidebar gadget.

In Internet Explorer, you could use Visual Filters.

Edit: you want to use the Light filter, here is an exemple

<STYLE>
   .aFilter {
            filter:light();
        }
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT>
window.onload=fnInit;
function fnInit(){
   oDiv.filters[0].addAmbient(50,20,180,100);
}
</SCRIPT>
with filter: <img CLASS="aFilter" ID="oDiv" src="http://cache2.artprintimages.com/p/LRG/8/853/2USY000Z/black-and-white-cats.jpg">

without: <img src="http://cache2.artprintimages.com/p/LRG/8/853/2USY000Z/black-and-white-cats.jpg">
