Your question reminded me of a wee bit of DHTML i saw a while ago so I dug out the code for you......it creates 3 sliding bars on ur web-page that control the RGB vlaues of the background colour - a bit of a gimic with no real use but fun to play about with :)
just copy the code below into a new txt document and save as html

<!-- Each of the 'outerLyr#'-divs creates a slider element.
There can be as much sliders as needed. Just make sure,
they have different names, especially the img (knob is referred and acted on by name)-->
This is an impressive demonstration of using DHTML to create adjust bars. Here in the demo, the bars function as color adjusters, though, through modification, can be set to do virtually anything.
