Both of these methods (calling a script or inlining) works:
The reason the original script doesn't work is that you should't have put the script tag in there. Since it assumes that everything within the script tags is javascript it tries to run it and that obviously dosn't work (HTML code isn't executable).<br><br>Themonkster's example would also work, but I've included some more info.
