<script type='text/javascript'>
function cool_colors( the_string )
{

     var q=0;

     for(var i=0; i<the_string.length; i++)
     {

          document.write('<span style=\"color:'+arguments[q+1]+'\">'+the_string.charAt(i)+'</span>')

          if(the_string.charAt(i)!=' ')
          {

               q++;
               if(q>=(arguments.length-1))
                    q=0;

          }

     }
}

cool_colors('nasty nets','red','blue')

if you insist!

it wasn’t a code problem it was some weird problem with quotation marks on the blog — for some reason putting them inside of <span> tags to color them (above) turned them into the fancy curly quotes, which is no good for code ;(((

so to fix it, instead of writing ” i wrote &#39;
(and actually to write the sentence above i had to write &amp;#39;)
(…and, to write that sentence i had to type &amp;amp;#39;, etc)
(too nerdy for nasty nts)
