[Javascript] Hex values and RGB values?

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I'm using a color selector and a form value to 
assign values to things like the following:

document.getElementById('matte').style.background=form.color.value;

Where the form contains things like '#FFFF00'.

Next, I want to save these values chosen in a 
database, but when I do the following:

var 
color=document.getElementById('matte').style.background;
alert(color);

I am getting the following in the alert box 
instead of the Hex value:

rgb(255, 255, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 0%

"D'oh!"

How can I get the hex value from

document.getElementById('matte').style.background

??????

This was MOST unexpected!

Thanks,
Skip
