I needed a colour picker, so I decided to make one. I doubt anyone will want this, but I thought I would post it anyway.

<html>
<head>
<title>Colour picker - By Josh</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="messageBox">Choose a colour</div>
<div id="container">
<script type="text/JavaScript">
for(colourCount=0; colourCount<216; colourCount++) {
document.write("<div style=\"background-color: #"+ colourCodes[colourCount] +"; float: left;\"");
document.write("onmouseover=\"displayColour('#"+ colourCodes[colourCount] +"')\"> </div>");
}
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Designed for IE 6+

:P I enjoyed making it, and mine is different to that anyway (3 digit colour-codes).
If you're gonna test it out, use Internet Explorer (or atleast Opera, Firefox won't work correctly I'm assuming).

You need to make a preview version for people like me who are to lazy to test it properly "/

Almost works in Firefox, all that doesnt is the code doesnt follow the curser and remains in a div in the top left

That's because event.client isn't supported by Firefox, I'll work out a way to fix that if I have time.
I'm thinking about making a JavaScript WYSIWYG HTML editor, but that might take some time.
