how to get current value of colorpicker

[ledantecpierre]

Hello,

I have a colorpicker set to the user to update the backgroundcolor define like this
<p:colorPicker id="inlineCP" value="#{userSessionBean.backgroundColor}" mode="inline" widgetVar="colorpick"/>
I can record the value in my bean using a save button, but I would like to access the current value as the user click on the colorpicker so I can preview the backgroundcolor change before saving it. Is it possible to use widgetvar? something like colorpick.getValue(). I can also use javascript or jquery, any suggestion?

I was recently trying to do something similar, using colorpicker. I do wish I could fire changes simply when the color was selected via event.

Oleg had a solution for ajax update here.
