Javascript Marquee

Hya, I've been trying to get a marquee working for my site, and would like it to use an external file for the text that it scrolls.

Currently nothing is showing up except for a little space where it should be that is only visible when I highlight the page by selecting edit>select all

I have used the script avaliable here

but instead of inserting the script into the body I have put it into an external .js

my script is the same as theirs except I have made the links point to my documents instead of the samples they gave, however I will paste it here incase I have managed to delete one vital full stop or something.

<IE:Download ID="marqueedata" STYLE="behavior:url(#default#download)" />

<marquee id="externalmarquee" direction=up scrollAmount=4 style="width:200px;height:150px;border:1px solid black;padding:3px" onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=2" onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=4" src="News.htm">

</marquee>

 

 

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

 

 

function downloaddata(){

marqueedata.startDownload(externalmarquee.src,displaydata)

}

 

function displaydata(data){

externalmarquee.innerHTML=data

}

 

if (document.all)

window.onload=downloaddata

 

 

</script>

 

<![endif]-->

I'm guessing it's because I have incorrectly moved the code from inside the HTML to the external .js, but if someone could help me fix it that would be great.

Cheers,

Al
