Can someone tell me why this script works in IE but not FF on 3.8
 

It's a cursor script. Works just fine on IE but not FF on VBulletin. Works fine in FF on a normal webpage. TIA

<div id="span0" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span1" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span2" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span3" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span4" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span5" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="elch.gif"></div>
<div id="span6" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"><img src="zuegel.gif"></div>

<div id="span8" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden;"> </div>
