jquery if background color ==

Question

I am trying to check for the background of an element, here is my code. But it doesn\'t work:

I tried two ways, here is the first:

function changeCol         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure what field is referring to, but my guess stands that it is the id of the element?

If so, try wrapping field like so $('#' + field).css.

NOTE: Here's a VERY NICE function for converting HEX to RGB

function hexToRgb(string)
{
    if(!string || typeof string !== 'string') return false;

    if(
        string.substring(0,1) == '#' && 
        (string.length == 4 || string.length == 7) && 
        /^[0-9a-fA-F]+$/.test(string.substring(1, string.length))
    ){
    string = string.substring(1, string.length);

    if(string.length == 3) 
        string = string[0] + string[0] + string[1] + string[1] + string[2] + string[2];

    return 'rgb(' + 
        parseInt(string[0] + string[1], 16).toString() + ',' + 
        parseInt(string[2] + string[3], 16).toString() + ',' + 
        parseInt(string[4] + string[5], 16).toString() + 
    ')';
}
else return false;
}
