External data using javascript

[delds]

Looking to be able to post links to the latest threads or latest threads that were posted to,
---------------
<script src="http://www.selfhelpforums.com/external.php?type=js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (i in threads)
{
document.writeln(threads[i].title + " (" + threads[i].poster + ")<br />");
}
//-->
</script>
-------------------

This gives me I believe the last 15 threads, not sure if it is the last 15 threads created or last 15 threads that were posted to.

But they are not clickable (no actual link), is it possible to change the number displayed and can they be made a clickable link. trying to use it in .htm page.

running vb 3.5 rc 2, which will within the next day be rc 3

PHP Code:

<!--
var max = 13;
if(threads.length < max) max = threads.length;
for(i = 0; i < max; i++)
{ 
if (threads[i].title.length > 50)
{ threads[i].title = threads[i].title.substring(0, 20) + '...'; }
document.writeln("<li><a href=\"http://www.yourforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=" + threads[i].threadid + "\" style=\" color:black; \">" + threads[i].title + "</a><br> (" + threads[i].poster + " - Erstellt am: " + threads[i].threaddate + ") <br><br></li>");
}
//-->

Hmmm I have enabled External Javascript in the acp and incorporated this js into my page with the domain changes of course and have had no success. It simply does not list for me.
