Function to convert decimal color number into HTML hex color string

[Akatz712]

The following function converts a decimal number representing a color stored in the way that Microsoft windows stores colors (low byte is red), and converts it to a hex string which is needed for web applications, namely "#RRGGBB".

[CODE=javascript]
function decimalColorToH TMLcolor(number ) {
//converts to a integer
var intnumber = number - 0;

// isolate the colors - really not necessary
var red, green, blue;

// needed since toString does not zero fill on left
var template = "#000000";

// in the MS Windows world RGB colors
// are 0xBBGGRR because of the way Intel chips store bytes
red = (intnumber&0x00 00ff) << 16;
green = intnumber&0x00f f00;
blue = (intnumber&0xff 0000) >>> 16;

// mask out each color and reverse the order
intnumber = red|green|blue;

// toString converts a number to a hexstring
var HTMLcolor = intnumber.toStr ing(16);

//template adds # for standard HTML #RRGGBB
HTMLcolor = template.substr ing(0,7 - HTMLcolor.lengt h) + HTMLcolor;

return HTMLcolor;
}
