Here is the deal. I want to add a javascript that will allow for falling confetti on our forum home. You see we are 1 member shy of breaking 100 members and it is something we would like to add for a week or so. Kind of a whoo hooo congrats to us all sort of thing.
I have tried adding the two different scripts I have directly to the forumhome template and the header templates (at seperate times), however neither have worked. It isn't showing them at all. When I add the scripts to normal html web pages they work fine. Cute little falling peices of confetti over the entire page.
Anyone ever tried doing this? I know I have had it in the past, but a dear friend of mine installed it for us at the time and I don't have a clue how he did it. Nor is he about for me to ask right at the moment, so I figured I would ask here.
The following are the two scripts I have been trying.
Script 1
This basicaly gives you 1 image repeatedly floating around the page.

EDIT:
I have gotten it to work sorta. It shows if it is being veiwed in IE, but now in foxfire. In foxfire, you see this pile of images stacked on top of one another not doing anything in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
Agian. It renders fine in IE and Foxfire on a basic html page, just not in foxfire on the forum. Any suggestions or reasons why it isn't rendering in foxfire on the forum?
