So I found this tutorial-
http://www.webdesign.org/web/photoshop/ima...-text.1125.html

but I can't get it to work on pscs3.
I can't get the gradient to show only on the text.
(the tutorial says to press ctrl + g) but that doesn't do anything except make a new group. I can still see it everywhere and not just the text like it's supposed to.

Does anyone know how do get the gradient to show JUST in the text on pscs3?

You need to add a clipping mask. To do that you need to have that layer selected & then go to the bottom of the layer's palette & click on the gray square with a white circle in it.

Alright. That worked.. but for some reason the gradient is set to grayscale?
The image itself is set in RGB mode but the gradient within the clipping mask is black and white, even though the colors are set to pink, green, orange, etc.

Ahh please help x_x
