Rainbow Color Link Hover Effect In Blogger

I am sure you are observing the hover effect on our links. This is done by adding a simple jQuery plugin to your template. Hats off to Dynamic Drive for this script. This is a very cool tutorial to style up your links. We will add this script directly to the blogger templates. This is very simple and works perfect in all templates. Now lets get on to the tutorial. Just follow the simple steps below:


1. Sign in to your blogger account.
2. Jump to layout and add a new "HTML/JAVASCRIPT" gadget (at any corner).
3. Paste the below javascript code in the editor:

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
var rate = 20;
if (document.getElementById)
window.onerror=new Function("return true")
var objActive;  // The object which event occured in
var act = 0;    // Flag during the action

var elmS = 128; // Saturation
var elmV = 255; // Value
