rgbaColorPicker

Usage

To install the rgbaColorPicker simple include rgbacolorpicker.min.js after you've included jQuery (version 1.4.3 or greater). The script will automatically convert any inputs with the class ".rgbacolorpicker" into color pickers. This class can be changed by modify the "autorun" variable inside the script file. You can disable autorun by setting "autorun" to a blank".

After installation you can manually run the colorpicker by calling the function ".rgbacolorpicker()". This will convert whatever you select into a color picker, regardless of if it in an input or not. Note that if you choose to convert a non-input items your picker the color selection will not be savable. Additionally when manually calling the colorpicker you can pass the options to it with a standard object. Currently only the following variable is recognized:

• stylesheet : false, 'path/to/stylesheet.css' - default: false
• callback : 'callback function' - default: none
• alpha : boolean - default: true
• force_rgba : boolean, will force the output to always be RGBA - default: false

For example to mimic the original version of this script you would manually call it like this:

$(input.rgbapicker).rgbacolorpicker({stylesheet:'rbacolorpicker.css'});

while mimicking the last version manually would simply be

$(input.rgbapicker).rgbacolorpicker();
