Text Fade (Rainbow Faded Text) BBCode

This BB Code produces a rainbow like text fade effect. It uses Javascript to put multiple html font color tags between characters. There are two ways of doing this, the first method uses an external javascript file. In the second post you add the javascript to every page via the header template instead, this may be better if you expect the rainbow text to be called many times on a single page.

Demo: here.

2. Add a new BBCode

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forums/clientscript/textfade.js"></script>
