Color Picker
The original script for this page came from Bravenet Web Services, but I have modified it so that it works on most browsers.
Most users should be able to reach the Color field without a mouse, by using access key q. Use the arrow keys to select a color.
You can also choose your own color by entering RGB or Hex values in their respective fields.

Known Performance Issues
This page, and the JavaScript that runs it, have been tested on Internet Explorer versions 5.5, 6, 7, and 8 beta 2; Firefox 3; Opera 9.6; Safari 3.1; and Google Chrome, all running on Windows Vista. The independently produced IETester was used for the various IE versions. The script works on all of them, with the following variations noted:
- Internet Explorer 6 and 7: Normal background loads with the page (it isn’t supposed to) but the script works fine.
- Internet Explorer 8 beta 2: The first time you change the color, the page doesn’t reflect the change until you click anywhere else on the page. Subsequent changes take place immediately. But since I’m using IETester and not the actual IE8b2, this may be only a bug in IETester.
