Random Coloured Words In A H1

Is it possible to have each word in a H1 a random colour and that if you refresh the page these will then be randomised again? I have 5 set colours I want to use. How would I code

Solution 1:

Yes, that's possible :

var colors = ['red', 'yellow', 'blue', 'green', 'black'];
$('h1').each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text().split(' ').map(function(v){
        return'<span style="color:'+colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]+'">'+v+'</span>';
    }).join(' '));
});​​​​​​

The main idea is to split the content of each h1 into words and replace the words by embedding them in <span> as you can't style a word but only an element.
