Color Field

CacheHandler Field

This field allows you to choose an HTML hex color code interactively. It is rendered using an HTML5 color picker field or, if HTML5 is not supported, a jQuery plugin with the equivalent functionality.

For the edit form rendering of this field please consult JFormFieldColor. At the time of this writing you can set the following attributes:

• position Position of the color selection panel: left, top or bottom
• onchange onChange Javascript event handler
• required Is this field required?
• disabled Is this field disabled?
• autofocus Should this field be automatically focused?
• value Hex color definition without the leading #
• control Type of control. Use simple for a simple drop-down list of predefined colors. Other possible values are hue (default), saturation, brightness and wheel.
• readonly Set to 1 to make the control read only
• hint A translation string key with the placeholder (hint) displayed in the field if no value is already set.
• autocomplete Set to 1 to let the browser do auto-completion of the field (default) or 0 to tell the browser to prevent auto-completion. Not all browsers will respect this setting!

In read and browse views this field renders as a 20x20px square filled with the color in the value attribute. Keep in mind that the color code must be given as an HTML hex color definition without the leading # sign. For example, use FFFFFF for white, but NOT #FFFFFF or white.
