Color PIcker Widget (YUI Based) open from with in another window?

**CSF** · 08-02-2009, 09:56 PM

1) Script Title:
Color PIcker Widget (YUI Based)

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/dhtmlwindow/

3) Describe problem:

I already have been using DHTML Window Widget, so when I wanted to add a color picker and realized that Color PIcker Widget (YUI Based), uses DHTML Window Widget too, that integration should be pretty simple.

But I can not seam to get it to do what I want for anything.

What I have is a widow widget and inside that window widget I have some coloring options.

I would like to be able to launch the Color PIcker Widget from with in the other widget, for the user to select the color seeting, but it will not work.

I know its definitely possible to open up other widgets from with with in widgets, which leaves me to believe its something with the Color PIcker Widget that is the problom.

I also know that the code I have in the widget I am trying to launch Color PIcker Widget from works fine if its not inside that widget.

Here is an example of the code i am trying to get work

Code:

Are you saying inside the DHTML widget, you're displaying a page that somehow contains a link that when clicked on, should load a color picker (still within the DHTML Widget)? If so, have you tried simply creating a blank page with just the Color Widget on it and already shown (see example 2 here), then link to this page from the other to load it when clicked on?
