In my CSS file:
a, a:link, a:visited { color:#4188FB; }
a:active, a:focus, a:hover { color:#FFCC00; }
I tried with:
var link_col = $("a:link").css("color");
alert(link_col); // returns rgb(65, 136, 251)
How can I get the HEX code?
*** edit: found the answer here:
Background-color hex to JavaScript variable
Shame on me, could have search a bit better before posting..
Some adjustes to function
$.fn.getHexBackgroundColor = function() {
var rgb = $(this).css('background-color');
if (!rgb) {
return '#FFFFFF'; //default color
}
var hex_rgb = rgb.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
function hex(x) {return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);}
if (hex_rgb) {
return "#" + hex(hex_rgb[1]) + hex(hex_rgb[2]) + hex(hex_rgb[3]);
} else {
return rgb; //ie8 returns background-color in hex format then it will make compatible, you can improve it checking if format is in hexadecimal
}
}
Here you go, this will allow you to use $(selector).getHexBackgroundColor() to return the hex value easily :
$.fn.getHexBackgroundColor = function() {
var rgb = $(this).css('background-color');
rgb = rgb.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
function hex(x) {return ("0" + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2);}
return "#" + hex(rgb[1]) + hex(rgb[2]) + hex(rgb[3]);
}
Here is my take. Simple and concise.
(function($) {
$.fn.getHexBackgroundColor = function() {
return (function(rgb) {
return '#' + (!rgb
? 'FFFFFF'
: rgb.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/)
.slice(1)
.map(x => ('0' + parseInt(x).toString(16)).slice(-2))
.join('')
.toUpperCase());
})($(this).css('background-color'));
}
})(jQuery);
$(function() {
$('#color-rgb').text($('.foo').css('background-color'));
$('#color-hex').text($('.foo').getHexBackgroundColor());
});.foo {
background: #F74;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
label { font-weight: bold; }
label:after { content: ': '; }<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="foo"></div>
<label>RGB</label><span id="color-rgb">UNDEF</span><br />
<label>HEX</label><span id="color-hex">UNDEF</span>
