jQuery Color Selector

I made a color changing div with the rgb values from the inputs but I dont know why the color of the div does not changes unless i release the mouse 

function changeColor(){

      var r = $("#red").val();
      var g = $("#green").val();
      var b = $("#blue").val();
      $("#selectedColor").css("background-color", "rgb(" + r + "," + g + "," + b + ")");
     }
    changeColor();
     $("input[type=range]").change(changeColor);

The change event fires only after the change is complete.

In this case, that would be when you release the mouse button. If you would prefer to handle every alteration of the input value as it happens, use the input event instead:

$("input[type=range]").on("input", changeColor);

Every in your code looks good unless when when you triggered some mouse events that you never included in the code in the forum
