Colour Chooser in Webclient

Classic Servoy
1

Has anyone used or adapted a javascript/html colour chooser that can easily be used in webclient?

or is it a case of creating my own?!

Yes!

That looks excellent.

Where I always get confused is how you get the value back into the DB in servoy. Would you need to use the webclient utilities plugin?

Have you used this or does anyone have any sample code of reading the result back to the DB?

Thanks

Forgive me, but I am not seeing how I can return the value to my database?

The Field I am clicking must have the html

<html>
<head>
	<title>jscolor demo</title>
</head>
<body>

	<script type="text/javascript" src="jscolor.js"></script>

	Click here: <input class="color" value="66ff00">

</body>
</html>

What do I need to add to the ‘<input class’ line to be able to then send the result back to the database. and does that need the web client utils pluin?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

Here is a demo on how you could implement this jscolor picker using the Web Client Utils plugin.
Thanks to the plugin it’s fairly simple :)

Robert,

Thats Great, Many thanks, i am always lost when it comes to this type of integration.

Tell me, I find that this sometimes needs the browser to be refreshed in order to work. So i display it on a form with a tab panel. This is displayed in a dialogue. If I click to another tab and back the functionality dissappears until i click refresh browser.

I think I have seen this with other javascript stuff like this, for example when I was working with patrick to integrate a JS html editor, it sometimes didnt appear first time, but only after using the browser refresh.

Is there anyway to force the script to refresh this? or prevent this behaviour?

Thanks Again.

Hi David,

Sounds like a browser issue to me. What OS/browser/version do you use ?
