Grid of color in form

What I want is an 8x6 (48 squares), each with a different color. You select one and submit the form and it changes the color for the option you chose. Would this have to be done with custom radio fields or something?

does this need to be dynamic (instant - aka javascript)?
would be tabular data imo

It won't be tabular data, because I won't be pulling the information from a table, it will be static data of which 1 value will be put into the database.
I want to stay away from javascript if possible, but I imagine I won't be able to.
I was thinking maybe something along these lines might work?

Code:

/* CSS */
input[type="radio"] {
clip: rect(0,20,40,0);
}

Then set the background color and value for each one? (Of course each radio button would have to be positioned absolutely.)

...wouldnt it be easier to have a table with 8 collumns and 6 rows and set the bgcolor for each one?

or do u mean a radio button and bgcolor that and have them select from that?

I was trying to have radio buttons, because they fit in forms nicely, but you can't change the look of radio buttons, so tables and javascript would probably be the way to go.

How would I go about have the table, then on clicking the cell, having the value populate a readonly input field?

you can use onclick and "document.formid.inputid.value=arg1;" to change the value of the input?
