Okay... So what I am trying to do is to color a members username with TWO colors. After several hours of aggravation I have managed to get a little closer to what I would like, however I am not there yet.
What I have managed to accomplish is the whole rainbow effect thing to where it looks like: Fray
(please excuse the use of color I am simply trying to illustrate what I mean)
That was acomplised with the use of this code in Javascript:
And this in my CSS:
However what I would like the end result to be is: Fray
(please excuse the use of color I am simply trying to illustrate what I mean)
I not only want just a single username to appear this way... But I want to apply it to a group so that the legend would appear that way as well. Plus it would save having to do it to every single user that joins the said group.
I am sorry if I am explaining this very poorly but I have never been good at explaining my own problems.
Also before people start shooting off "This is not possible" I happen to know for a fact it is. I have seen it on more than one forum over the years. This is just the first time I have tried to do it myself. After some searching I was able to hunt up an example on the following forum:

I have boxed off in red, what I am talking about in the below screen shot.
That picture hopefully explains what I am trying to achieve better than I have explained it above...

- Code:
$.getScript("http://xoxco.com/projects/code/rainbow/rainbow.js",function(){
$('a[href="/u1"] strong').rainbow({
colors: [
'#000000',
'#ff3333',
],
animate: false,
animateInterval: 50,
pad: false,
pauseLength: 50,
});
});
And this in my CSS:
- Code:
a[href^="/u"] span {
  display: inline !important;
}
dd.lastpost span {
  padding-left: 0px !important;
}
