im having trouble :(, status bars Options

[neato625]

i am trying to put one of those scroller status bar thingers on my xanga but it wont work. im not sure if i have too much stuff on my xanga?, but i didnt think i have as much as some other people have.. cause it is either that or my code is wrong, but im pretty sure that it is right. so im really confused and if someone could unconfuse me that would be great!

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var current = 0
var x = 0
var speed = 100
var speed2 = 100
function initArray(n) {
this.length = n;
for (var i =1; i <= n; i++) {
this[i] = ' '
}
}
typ = new initArray(4)
typ[0]="[[ Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy"
typ[1]="[[ So what befalls the flawless?"
typ[2]="[[ Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully"
typ[3]="[[ Now watch as it destroys me"
function typewrite() {
var m = typ[current]
window.status = m.substring(0, x++) + " ]]"
if (x == m.length + 1) {
x = 0
current++
if (current > typ.length - 1) {
current = 0
}
setTimeout("typewrite()", speed2)
}
else {
setTimeout("typewrite()", speed)
}
}
typewrite()
