Update bootstrap color picker manually

Question

I'm using the following color picker on bootstrap: http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-colorpicker/ I'm using the following code the change the background color of an element on the page: ```

``` It works apart from when I try to manually enter a hex code by typing it in. It just doesn't seem to trigger the update of the color on keyup or even unfocus. I found a way by editing the src 'update:' to add: ``` this.element.trigger({ type: 'changeColor', color: this.color }); ``` However, i would have thought there would have been a better way.

Accepted Answer

According to the documentation you should be able to do the following:

```
$('#mypicker').on('keyup', function() {
    $(this).colorpicker('setValue', $(this).val());
});
```
