How to know if HTML5 input type color is available as a color picker?
Here you go.
/**
* Determine if the current browser has support for HTML5 input type of color.
* @author Matthew Toledo
* @return {boolean} True if color input type supported. False if not.
*/
var test = function() {
var colorInput;
// NOTE:
//
// If the browser is capable of displaying a color picker, it will sanitize the color value first. So "!"" becomes #000000;
//
// Taken directly from modernizr:
// @see http://modernizr.com/docs/#features-html5
//
// These types can enable native datepickers, colorpickers, URL validation, and so on.
// If a browser doesn’t support a given type, it will be rendered as a text field. Modernizr
// cannot detect that date inputs create a datepicker, the color input create a colorpicker,
// and so on—it will detect that the input values are sanitized based on the spec. In the
// case of WebKit, we have received confirmation that sanitization will not be added without
// the UI widgets being in place.
colorInput = $('<input type="color" value="!" />')[0];
return colorInput.type === 'color' && colorInput.value !== '!';
};
$(function(){
if (test()) {
$('body').append('<p1>Your browser supports the color input</p>');
} else {
$('body').append('<p>Your browser Doesn\'t Support the color input</p>');
}
})<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>To check the support of any feature of HTML3 or CSS3 on any browser you can use modernizr.
The code for the colorpicker will be:
if(!Modernizr.inputtypes.color){
// your fall back goes here
}
For modernizr all you have to do is to add a link of the modernizr on your web page.
Running demo for the same you can check at nettuts:

Hope this will help you.
Thanks, NS
Again without jQuery
const hasColorInputSupport = (document) => {
try {
const input = document.createElement('input');
input.type = 'color';
input.value = '!';
return input.type === 'color' && input.value !== '!';
} catch (e) {
return false;
};
};
