%STARTSECTION{"summary"}%
Farbtastic is a jQuery plug-in that can add one or more color picker widgets
into a page. Each widget is then linked to an existing element (e.g. a text
field) and will update the element's value when a color is selected.
Farbtastic uses layered transparent PNGs to render a saturation/luminance
gradient inside of a hue circle. No Flash or pixel-sized divs are used.

There's a =color= formfield for easy integration into Foswiki DataForms.

---++ Usage

Add the class ==jqFarbtastic== to an input element that you want to attach the color selector to.
The widget can be parametrized using [[JQueryMetadata][metadata]] inside the class attribute.

---++ Color Formfield

With the farbtastic plugin comes a formfield type ==color= that lets you add one or more color formfields to %SYSTEMWEB%.DataForms. Try

| *Name*  | *Type* | *Size* | *Values* | *Tooltip message* | *Attributes* |
| Color1 | color | 10 | | | |
| Color2 | color | 10 | | | |
| Color3 | color | 10 | | | |
| Color4 | color | 10 | | | |

To define a !PaletteForm with 4 colors.
