netscape 6 color 1

does anybody have a good way to switch NS6-7 colors from the format "rgb(R,G,B)" to a hex value like "#rrggbb"?

just ran into that problem myself. this is what i came up with (the first function is not my own)...

function toHex(dec)
{
 hexChars = "0123456789ABCDEF";
 if (dec > 255)
 {
  return null;
 }
 var i = dec % 16;
 var j = (dec - i) / 16;
 result = hexChars.charAt(j);
 result += hexChars.charAt(i);
 return result;
}

function convertRGB2Hex(rgb)
{
 var hexColor = "#";
 rgb = rgb.substring(rgb.indexOf("(")+1,rgb.indexOf(")"));
 rgb = rgb.split(",");
 for (i=0;i<rgb.length;i++)
 {
  hexColor += toHex(rgb[i]);
 }
 return hexColor;
}

then, as an example of how to use it...

var ns = (navigator.appName == "Netscape") ? true : false;
var rules = (ns==true) ? "cssRules" : "rules";


var colorCode = eval("document.styleSheets[0]." + rules + "[0].style.color");
if  (colorCode.indexOf("(") > -1)
{
 colorCode = convertRGB2Hex(colorCode);
}

hope that helps,
