Sounds cool, consider this some clamor for a live demo :-)

[cross posted from the plugin list, which seems to have died in February] Hey folks, I've been absent from the jquery lists for quite awhile, but just recently had the opportunity to build a cool little plugin for a project I'm working on so I decided to release it to the public. This plugin acts as an "eyedropper"-style color picker, allowing a user to select a color by clicking a pixel in an image. The plugin replaces selected img elements on the page with a canvas element, and provides click, mousemove and mouseout event callbacks. The callback is sent a color object (describing the color under the mouse for the event). It also shows a little hovering preview of the color near the cursor when over the image. You can find it on github with a simple demo included: http://github.com/sstrudeau/jquery-dropper I'm hoping to receive some feedback on things like: * callback function naming conventions * which other arguments would be useful & appropriate to send via the callback * should I instead (or also) trigger events instead/as well as offer callbacks? * any best practice examples for making something like the color hover chip style-able, optional? * any other feedback No live demo yet -- but if I hear a clamor, I might find a place to tuck one. Notable limitations: doesn't work on IE (the VML canvas hack doesn't offer pixel-level access to images) and images must be hosted from the same domain as the origin page (canvas security limitation). Thanks, Scott
