Hi, i have a chat app and wanted to use the color picker to let users change their text font.

Ive seen examples of it on pages and such, but havent really seen it been used with the db.

So i wanted to know if its possible to get the text from the textbox and and the selected color of the colorpicker, and insert it into the database, so when the data is retreived, the color of the text will be there

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

instead of using the colorpicker,you might be better off trying the HTMLEditor

http://www.asp.net/ajax/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/HTMLEditor/HTMLEditor.aspx 

this includes a color picker and generates the necessary html markup to display the text in that color

Hi, thats a very good idea.

But one thing, is a HTML editor really suitable for a chatroom?

E.g the size and all.

for a chat type usage, you might not want all the features offerred by the control.  you might consider using a lighter representation of the editor:

Ok, ill simply remove a few button so that its suitable for chat

Thanks for your help.
