Does anyone out there know of a cgi script that will return the RBG colour that a user clicks on?

There are basically two approaches to this. They differ by where the mapping is done:

You can use an image map, and handle the coordinate-to-RGB translation on the server side. This approach gives you a lot of flexibility with our graphics, at the expense of making the coordinate mapping more difficult the fancier you get.

Alternatively, you do the "translation" on the client side, by doing something like filling a table with colors, and adding a link to each cell that embeds the RGB code in the URL. Such a table is easy to generate from Perl.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
