I need a simple color picker that will allow me to put the RGB values into seperate textboxes (Red in one box, Green in another, and Blue in another).
I got some code through our mutual friend Google, but I don't understand it. It shows a color picker, but I can't get the RGB values, let alone seperate them.
Any help would be great.
