title: Javascript color picker with 8 digit hex
body: <p>I'm looking for a javascript color picker, with which I can set color and opacity. The returned string has to be an 8 digit long hex value (excluding the #). </p>
  
  <p>Already had a look at </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Farbtastic <a href="http://acko.net/blog/farbtastic-jquery-color-picker-plug-in/" rel="nofollow">http://acko.net/blog/farbtastic-jquery-color-picker-plug-in/</a></li>
  <li>jPicker <a href="http://www.digitalmagicpro.com/jPicker/" rel="nofollow">http://www.digitalmagicpro.com/jPicker/</a></li>
  <li>jQuery Minicolors <a href="http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-miniColors/" rel="nofollow">http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-miniColors/</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>and many others. But none of them gives me what I want, I don't want to mess with trimming strings etc. because the color picker has to be implemented about a 100 times on one page to realise a skinning editor.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

  <p>This is how it looks like using JSColor:</p>

  <p>And this is the code, with which I get and set the hexcode in my bean:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h:inputText styleClass="color {hash:true}"
               value="#{skinningBean.currentSkin.titleBar.backgroundColorStart}"&gt;
  &lt;a4j:ajax event="change" render="preview" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This would be working perfectly fine, except for the missing alpha values (last 2 digits).</p>
