Hex to RGB - RGB to Hex Color Converter

My current project uses Farbtastic which is a fantastic jQuery plugin which allows users to visually choose a color for an element. The problem I ran into was loading a default color from the element:

jQuery returns the element color in RGB format
document.write( $('#myElement').css('background-color') );
// outputs: rgb(34, 34, 34)

but Farbtastic uses the hex color format, just like the CSS.
#myElement { background-color: #222222 }
I found this really nice script (by R0bb13) which converts RGB to hex. This script requires the input variable to be in an array "[34,34,34]". In order to make the script use an RGB format "rgb(34,34,34)", I had to add one line to the script to remove the "rgb" and parenthesis and then convert (split) the result into an array...

Update #2 (allows entering an rgba value - opacity is ignored)

Updated (removing internal function):
//Function to convert hex format to a rgb color
function rgb2hex(rgb){
 rgb = rgb.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
 return "#" +
  ("0" + parseInt(rgb[1],10).toString(16)).slice(-2) +
  ("0" + parseInt(rgb[2],10).toString(16)).slice(-2) +
  ("0" + parseInt(rgb[3],10).toString(16)).slice(-2);
}
Here is an example of how to use this code with jQuery:
document.write( rgb2hex($('#myElement').css('background-color')) );
// outputs: #222222
Here is the original code from this post (not nearly as efficient as the updated script):
//Function to convert hex format to a rgb color
function rgb2hex(rgb) {
var hexDigits = ["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","a","b","c","d","e","f"];
rgb = rgb.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
function hex(x) {
return isNaN(x) ? "00" : hexDigits[(x - x % 16) / 16] + hexDigits[x % 16];
}
return "#" + hex(rgb[1]) + hex(rgb[2]) + hex(rgb[3]);
}
This CSS3 calculator was built for lazy people like myself. There are many great HEX to RGB color converters out there, but usually they give you result in three separate fields (R, G & B), which is annoying because 99% of times when I need an RGB value from HEX, I need to paste it to some CSS rule. So why copy/paste from three fields, when you can have it in one field - nicely baked for CSS inclusion. Her zaman elinizin altında Photoshop veya resim düzenleme programı olmayabilir.
