Development page for the Color / Colour action




The color action, as of version 1.1.6.0, has some disadvantages:

  1. it does no verification if a color is actually given or if it is valid, therefore produces invalid html
  1. it causes two php-notices
  1. it has problems with some kinds of text
  1. it does not use the standard for action-params

the code below solves this issues and adds support for a background-color, too:

Update 27/03/2006: new version which (hopefully) addresses the issues raised by jw in the comments. Please test.
Update 28/03/2006: Regexp for hex-values works now. Error-messages wraped in class.
