Implement

Attach the Javascript and CSS files to your document. Edit CSS file and fix the paths to images and change colors to fit your site theme.

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/colorpicker.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/colorpicker.js"></script>

Invocation code

All you have to do is to select the elements in a jQuery way and call the plugin.

 $('input').ColorPicker(options);

Options

A hash of parameters. All parameters are optional.

eventName	string	The desired event to trigger the colorpicker. Default: 'click'
color	string or hash	The default color. String for hex color or hash for RGB and HSB ({r:255, r:0, b:0}) . Default: 'ff0000'
flat	boolean	Whatever if the color picker is appended to the element or triggered by an event. Default false
livePreview	boolean	Whatever if the color values are filled in the fields while changing values on selector or a field. If false it may improve speed. Default true
onShow	function	Callback function triggered when the color picker is shown
onBeforeShow	function	Callback function triggered before the color picker is shown
onHide	function	Callback function triggered when the color picker is hidden
onChange	function	Callback function triggered when the color is changed
onSubmit	function	Callback function triggered when the color it is chosen

Set color

If you want to set a new color.

$('input').ColorPickerSetColor(color);

The 'color' argument is the same format as the option color, string for hex color or hash for RGB and HSB ({r:255, r:0, b:0}).
