This is a color picker in Javascript. It allows the user to select a color from a palette of 70 predefined colors. The selected color can be assigned to HTML element properties.

See palette-example.html for a working example of the code. The example shows how to set the background and font color of a page dynamically using the Color Picker.


palette.js
<!--
var palette, color = '';
function setColor(c){
    eval(color+'="'+c+'"');
}
function showPalette(el, prop){
    color = prop;
    palette.style.left = getObjX(el) + 57;
    palette.style.top = getObjY(el);
    palette.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
function getObj(name) {
    return (document.getElementById && document.getElementById(name))||document[name]||(document.all && document.all[name]);
}
function getObjX(el){
    var left = 0;
    if(el.offsetParent){
        while(1){
            left += el.offsetLeft;
            if(!el.offsetParent)break;
            el = el.offsetParent;
        }
    }else if(el.x)left += el.x;
    return left;
}

function getObjY(el){
    var top = 0;
    if(el.offsetParent){
        while(1){
            top += el.offsetTop;
            if(!el.offsetParent)break;
            el = el.offsetParent;
        }
    }else if(el.y)top += el.y;
    return top;
}
function init(){
    palette = getObj('palette');
}
