Clearing the textbox programmatically doesn't reset the color to transparent about jquery-minicolors HOT 9 CLOSED

You need to use the API. Please read the docs.

$('.minicolors.opacity').minicolors('value', '#ffcc00')

I don't understand: this is not an implementation issue, this is a plugin issue.

If a color in a picker changes when I edit the value in the input textbox, it should be transparent when I clear the input, right? It is binded to it.

You said you're setting the color programmatically, but implied that you weren't using that API. Use the value method to set it and the color will change.

So $('INPUT').val('') should not work?

Calling API methods for this is not intuitive, IMHO.

If color changes when I change the value in the input field manually, the value in the picker should change. This 2-way binding is semi-working: works for values but not when empty.

No, because it's impossible for JavaScript to poll an input element for changes without being extremely resource intensive. Most (all?) jQuery plugins work like this, as do plugins from similar libraries. You can look at some of the jQuery UI widgets such as DatePicker and Slider...they all have set/get methods as well.

Once you initialize a control, pretends it's not an input element anymore. It's a minicolors element, so use the API. It's a pretty standard thing :)

I agree, they all have get/set methods, but when I change date in datepicker input field, it also changes the datepicker's value. When I erase the date value completely, it resets the datepicker to today's date:

I will make workaround for this, but I definitely think it is not intuitive.

Yes, it does...on keyup. Just like MiniColors: http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-miniColors/

There's obviously a misunderstanding at one end...what do you think needs to be fixed? Everyone else seems to get it.

...unless I'm missing something, but if you're using .val() you can't expect it to work.

Novermind, nevertheless it's a great plugin :)

I will make some hacks in implementation.
