Color Palatte

[anandraj]

Hi All,
Is there any built-in control for color palatte in DHTML. If it works only in IE its enough.

Thanks

There is a new object implemented in IE6 that acts like a color chooser:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/choosecolordlg.asp?frame=true

However, with that you're limited to MSIE6+ users. I would recommend to use an alternative DHTML script that acts like a color chooser. IIRC, moderator jkd once wrote a very neat one. Try to search for that in the "Post a javascript" forum.

Thanks a lot man.
Is there any Other Built in Controls or any Other features in IE 6.
Any recommended sites?

Thanks
Anandraj

There should be a tree-view like directory in the left frame of the URL I posted. If you navigate it a little bit, you'll find something called DHTML objects. That should lead to a pretty extensive list of objects supported by MSIE.

As to any "other features"... you have to narrow down this question so I could give you a better answer than saying "browse msdn.microsoft.com to find out".

There are a lot of features, controls, objects, whatyoumaycallit that are only supported by IE. Most notably ActiveX technology, HTAs, the FileSystemObject etc. Too much to list in a single paragraph, sorry.

This attached scrip will solve your problem.Works in any damm browser and will get you any color in the browser spectrum.
It can take RGB user input aswell as Hexadecimal inputs.
The validation needs some work though.Feel free to use it ,it did wonders for me i use it every day in applications.

You must be kidding. The code of this script is IE-proprietary, though it seems like a good script (webFX for those who know). I doubt you really tested this script in another browser than IE:

Sorry, what i was ment to say was IE browsers,lol.
Never even tried to test it in Netscape, the part webfx did,pretty neat,not ofen that you see filters being used in such a way....

Thanks for the intrest.
