Only works for Internet Explorer!!!!!!!!!!
Create a table with it's visibility style set to hidden, set this tables
bgcolor
to the named color:
<table id="temptable" bgcolor="indigo"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
then request back the color:
document.getElementById("temptable").bgColor
it should return a hex color...
full sample:
<html>
<head>
<style>
#temptable{visibility:hidden}
</style>
<script>
var hexChars = "0123456789ABCDEF";
function Dec2Hex (Dec) {
// this function isn't used in this sample
var a = Dec % 16;
var b = (Dec - a)/16;
hex = "" + hexChars.charAt(b) + hexChars.charAt(a);
return hex;
}
function Hex2Dec(HexVal){
HexVal = HexVal.toUpperCase();
var DecVal = 0;
var temp = HexVal.substring(0,1);
DecVal = (hexChars.indexOf(temp) * 16);
temp = HexVal.substring(1);
DecVal += hexChars.indexOf(temp);
return DecVal;
}
function test(){
var HexString = document.getElementById("temptable").bgColor;
var r = Hex2Dec(HexString.substring(1,3));
var g = Hex2Dec(HexString.substring(3,5));
var b = Hex2Dec(HexString.substring(5,7));
alert("hex: " + HexString + "\nrgb: " + r + " " + g + " " + b);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onclick="test()">
<table id="temptable" bgcolor="indigo"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
