colour changes

[Egg Bramhill]

I'm really pleased with this outcome. I know nothing but very basic js scripts but doing Google searches I quickly (3 hrs) came up with this. Not 100%, but it converts the border around a photo to any colour in the swatch. The Hex value is displayed in an Alert window, I'd prefer it displayed in a text field.

I'll upload a zip file and perhaps Acorn can tidy it up (please)

EDIT: My apologies to the original supplier of the js script on StackOverflow, I can't find the original source post at present, but it works in a mean manner

Nice swatch. Egg, rem out the myColour alert and replace with a jQuery statement like:

$("#displayPickedColour").html("myColour = " + myColour);

to a Named blank DIV (Placeholder with <DIV id="displayPickedColour"></DIV>).

That's incredible Egg, except, the question, as I understand it, and that is qualified for as much as I understand anything, is how to change Alistair's matt colors on his web site to match his inventory. Such as when you visit a website, select an item such as a t-shirt, then click on color swatches to see how the t-shirt looks in the available colors. I do not think Alistair's company offers quite that many colors. I could very well be wrong, mind you.

On these websites when a color is selected the image colour changes to match this.

I took this to read the border colour changes, not the photo colour (Why would you want to do that?)

On my example the border colour changes, probably far more than the OP requires, but a good example of the possibilities

Acorn - Please see the first post.

My apologies at the moment, I completely c****d up the original code and it no longer works. I'll get back to this tomorrow

Gary, where is Alistair's site? I can't align what you're saying here to what's posted and uploaded by him.
