Get color palette

[chicdog]

I want the user to be able to change the color of specified text. Is it possible to display a color palette and how do I bring back that choice?

Chickey --

Here is a colorpic script (from VS.NET) that shows an 8 color palette and allows the user to change the color of a text:

<SCRIPT>
function fnColorChange(){
oTitle.style.color=cp.value;
}
</SCRIPT>
<STYLE>
.colorpick{behavior: url(ColorPick.htc)}
H1 {font: bold 18pt verdana; color: navy;}
P {font: 10pt verdana;}
</STYLE>
<h1 ID=&quot;oTitle&quot;>Color Picker</h1>
<INPUT ID=&quot;oColor&quot;
TYPE=&quot;text&quot;
CLASS=&quot;colorpick&quot;
STYLE=&quot;cp--grid-size:2&quot;
onchange=&quot;fnColorChange()&quot;>

Syntax

XML N/A

HTML <INPUT type=text STYLE=&quot;behavior:url('colorpick.htc')&quot; ID=sID>
Scripting object.style.behavior = &quot;url('colorpick.htc')&quot;
object.addBehavior (&quot;colorpick.htc&quot

Possible Values

sID String that specifies a unique identifier for the object.

The code for the colorpick.htc can be found under MSDN's DHTML Behaviors library, and a sample is available there. This is one procedure, that uses javascript to accomplish a color change.

Thanks for the help. Is there a way to get more than just 8 colors?

Chickey - print out the code for colorpick.htc (MSDN's DHTML Behaviors library) - I'm sure you could modify it to include additional colors. I don't have the link but I remember that the full source code for colorpick.htc is available.
