[SOLVED] onclick check colour?

[Dragen]

Hi,

I'm quite new to javascript, although I can write a very basic script. I'm not new to scripting though, just more fluent in php.

 

If I have an image, can I get javascript to do an onclick to check what colour in the image the user has clicked on?

For example; If I had the following image:

I want to be able to check what colour selection the user has made. I think I can check the click location against an array of variables for each colour (although I'm not quite sure how..), but I don't want to have to create a large array for each colour.

Instead I want to get the colour that is clicked, wherever it is, so that if the image is changed at some point, and the colours are moved, then it still works.

 

Sorry about the long explanation. Hopefully someone can help.

 

Thanks

where do you want the results of the color to be displayed or sent to? do you want it to be set as a form value or to display in the page or to be sent in a string  or etc.?

Thanks for the reply, but I've actually solved it late last night.

To see how I did it follow this link to my post in the ajax forum: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,168509.msg743102.html#msg743102
