We can define color picker by input type=”color”. It provides a user interface element that lets a user specify a color, either by using a visual color picker interface or by entering the color into a text field in #rrggbb hexadecimal format. Only colors without alpha channels are allowed. Though CSS colors have more formats, e.g. color names, functional notations, and a hexadecimal format with an alpha channel.
Approach:
- To change the color of our element based on the value of the color picker we have to use onclick() event of the element and change its CSS color property as per the selected value in the color picker element.
- This value appears as the color picker’s value attribute. using javascript, we will change the color of our element as the chosen value in the color picker.
Syntax:
<div id="elementId" onclick="fn_name()"></div>
< input name="ColorPickerId" type="color" id="ColorPickerName" />
</div>
<script>
document.getElementById("elementID").style.Color =
document.getElementById("ColorPickerId").value;
</script>
Example 1:
html
<style> #Myelement { background-color: black; width: 500px; height: 100px; } </style> <div id="Myelement" onclick="changeColor()"> </div> <input name="MyColorPicker" type="color" id="MyColorPicker" /> <script> function changeColor() { document.getElementById( "Myelement").style.backgroundColor = document.getElementById( "MyColorPicker").value; } </script> |
