Question

i have this jquery script that changes the color of the background instantly by entering a color code into the textbox, the working example is in jsfiddle link below.

http://jsfiddle.net/7jg4e/

but instead of the input field i wanted to use a color picker custom skin, becuase i dont want user to deal with hex code(just like twitter). the jquery plugin im trying to use is found at

http://www.eyecon.ro/colorpicker/

at the buttom of the page it has the neat color picker with DOM element.

so the problem is how am i going to change from the input type to the color picker div. thanks :))

Answer 1

Replace the input element with a div use something like: (untested!)

HTML

<div id='colourPicker'></div>

JS

$('#colourPicker').ColorPicker({
  onChange: function(hsb, hex, rgb){
    $("#full").css("background-color", '#' + hex);
  }
});

There’s an example at the bottom of the link you have which shows you how.

Update for changing text

HTML

<div id='colourPickerText'></div>
<div id='textToBeChanged'>Test text</div>

JS

$('#colourPickerText').ColorPicker({
  onChange: function(hsb, hex, rgb){
    $("#textToBeChanged").css("color", '#' + hex);
  }
});
