[SOLVED] Hex

[jaymc]

I am using javascript to get the BackgroundColor of a div

 

It is working fine in IE

 

However, in firefox rather than give the hex such as #fff000 it gives this rgb(255, 255, 0)

 

This wouldnt be a problem as IE can also read <font color="rgb(255, 255, 0)";> but, firefox cant!!

 

This is driving me nuts, any ideas? I preferably want firefox to pick out the hex

Why not just interconvert?

How

 

I need to do it in both javascript and php due to the nature of the script

 

What are the functions do you know for both languages

[fenway]

I assume you're setting it / reading it... just convert 255 <-> FF.  It's a simple hex-to-decimal function.

It will not always be the same decimal value

It will not always be the same decimal value

What won't be?

[jaymc]

Ok that d2h isnt working

 

i think it only accepts this for instance

 

d2h(255) rather than d2h(255, 255, 0)

 

Is this the case? Will I have to split it by , to get each value

 

This is becoming tricky

[fenway]

Yes, you'll have to parse it out.... unless someone has already written a function to that do.
