ColorPicker AJAX Extender
ColorPicker is an ASP.NET AJAX extender that can be attached to any ASP.NET TextBox control. It provides client-side color-picking functionality with UI in a popup control. You can interact with the ColorPicker by clicking on a colored area to set a color. It requires a binary reference to the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
ColorPicker extender is multi-browser compatible: it works with IE 6/7/8, Firefox, Safari and Goggle Chrome. ColorPicker is built on top of ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit and internally utilizes a Popup extender. ColorPicker is compatible with the UpdatePanel: can be placed inside the UpdatePanel.
ColorPicker is included in Ajax Control Toolkit since Release 30512. For those who use previous release of Ajax Control Toolkit this ColorPicker project will continue to evolve and stay in sync with the Ajax Control Toolkit.
Color Picker using javascript
This widget is used to select a color, in hexadecimal #RRGGBB form. It uses a color "swatch" to display the standard 216-color web-safe palette. The user can then click on a color to select it.
This script is very simple to implement, and can add a lot of style to your page that requires color values!
Because of the size of the table, this color picker may be slow on lower-end machines. Consider your target users when deciding whether or not it operates fast enough.
