Changing Colors Using PHP & Javascript

[bigperm]

Ok... Here is my idea, let me know if it will work.

Say I have a link with a set background color, and I want the hover color to be a shade lighter than the background color. Is there a way to use PHP to subtract maybe 3 from each RGB value in a hex color code?

You would have to seperate #FFFFFF into # FF FF FF and then subtract hexidecimaly (is that a word?) each one by a certain number.

Like have

include "http://whatever.com/link.php?url=\"http://moviepoopshoot.com\"&color=\"#FF6633\"";

And have that return the javascript for a mouse over with the colors just a hair different than the one specified?

Can you even pass variable like that?

Does this make any sense to anyone?

Hmmm ......

That would be ok ....

Nice idea ... but i'm sure its been done before ......

also the code is wrong




include "http://whatever.com/link.php?url=http://moviepoopshoot.com&color=#FF6633";

take a look at that page... it uses sliders to change the bgcolor. I'm not sure if thats what your looking, but you might be able to base your code on that.
