Body
copied!<p>Merging various references found here in StackOverflow (including the article above) and in other sites, I did so using javascript and JQuery:</p> <pre><code><html> <body> <canvas id="myCanvas" width="400" height="400" style="border:1px solid #c3c3c3;"> Your browser does not support the canvas element. </canvas> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function(){ var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas'); var context = canvas.getContext('2d'); var img = new Image(); img.src = 'photo_apple.jpg'; context.drawImage(img, 0, 0); }; function findPos(obj){ var current_left = 0, current_top = 0; if (obj.offsetParent){ do{ current_left += obj.offsetLeft; current_top += obj.offsetTop; }while(obj = obj.offsetParent); return {x: current_left, y: current_top}; } return undefined; } function rgbToHex(r, g, b){ if (r > 255 || g > 255 || b > 255) throw "Invalid color component"; return ((r << 16) | (g << 8) | b).toString(16); } $('#myCanvas').click(function(e){ var position = findPos(this); var x = e.pageX - position.x; var y = e.pageY - position.y; var coordinate = "x=" + x + ", y=" + y; var canvas = this.getContext('2d'); var p = canvas.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data; var hex = "#" + ("000000" + rgbToHex(p[0], p[1], p[2])).slice(-6); alert("HEX: " + hex); }); </script> <img src="photo_apple.jpg"/> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>This is my complete solution. Here I only used canvas and one image, but if you need to use <code><map></code> over the image, it's possible too.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
