var color = $(".selected").css("background-color"); var $canvas = $("canvas"); var context = $("canvas")[0].getContext("2d"); var lastEvent; var mouseDown = false;
//When clicking on control list items $(".controls").on("click", "li", function(){ //Deselect sibling elements $(this).siblings().removeClass("selected"); //Select clicked element $(this).addClass("selected"); //cache current color color = $(this).css("background-color"); });
//When new color is pressed $("#revealColorSelect").click(function(){ //Show color select or hide the color select changeColor(); $("#colorSelect").toggle(); });
//update the new color span
function changeColor() {
var r = $("#red").val();
var g = $("#green").val();
var b = $("#blue").val();
$("#newColor").css("background-color", "rgb(" + r + "," + g +", " + b + ")");
}
//When color sliders change $("input[type=range]").change(changeColor);
//When add color is pressed
$("#addNewColor").click(function(){
//Append the color to the controls ul
var $newColor = $("<li></li>");
$newColor.css("background-color", $("#newColor").css("background-color"));
$(".controls ul").append($newColor);
//Select the new color
$newColor.click();
});
//On mouse events on the canvas $canvas.mousedown(function(e){ lastEvent = e; mouseDown = true; }).mousemove(function(e){
//Draw lines
if(mouseDown) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(lastEvent.offsetX, lastEvent.offsetY);
context.moveTo(e.offsetX, e.offsetY);
context.strokeStyle = color;
context.stroke();
lastEvent = e;
}
}).mouseup(function(){
mouseDown = false;
}).mouseleave(function(){
$canvas.mouseup();
});

4,875 PointsAll your code is correct. Reformat your code... the comments everywhere are commenting out some of your code. I did a copy and paste and that's all I could find.
