Research direction
The issue reports that the container selector option does not work when the colorpicker target is an input element. The expected behavior is that the color picker should appear inside the specified container, but it appears at the end of the body instead. The provided jsFiddle example (https://jsfiddle.net/jmh124po/) can be used to reproduce the bug. Investigate how the container option is handled in the plugin's source code, likely in `src/js/colorpicker.js`. Look for the part where the container is determined and appended to the DOM. The bug may be related to the logic that checks the target type (input vs. other elements) or how the container is set when the target is an input. Check for any existing comments or linked issues. Focus on the `appendTo` or `container` related functions.
