Two questions ..., Scroll bar won't work and ...... Options

[snogger85]

Ok I've read these boards for a while but, I guess you could say that I'm a newbie since this is my first post and I have 2 questions:
1) I really really like status bar scrollers on people's sites, however, I think I've tried just about every code out there and it won't work, everytime i try something the status bar always says something like "Done but with errors on the page". Here's the last code i used:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<!-- ##BEGIN SCROLLING -->
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
// Scrolling status Bar text Script
// Being of Scrolling text in the Status bar
var speed = 50 //decrease value to increase speed (must be positive)
var pause = 2500 //increase value to increase pause
var timerID = null
var bannerRunning = false
var ar = new Array()
ar[0] = "In my mind
everything we did was right... "
ar[1] = "Open your eyes, I'll still be by your side..."
ar[2] = "How could I ever have been so blind?"
ar[3] = "You give me something to sleep to
at night"
ar[4] = ""
var currentMessage = 0
var offset = 0
function stopBanner() {
if (bannerRunning)
clearTimeout(timerID)
bannerRunning = false
}
function startBanner() {
stopBanner()
showBanner()
}
function showBanner() {
var text = ar[currentMessage]
if (offset < text.length) {
 if (text.charAt(offset) == " ")
 offset++
 var partialMessage = text.substring(0, offset + 1)
 window.status = partialMessage
 offset++
 timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", speed)
 bannerRunning = true
  } else {
 offset = 0
 currentMessage++
  if (currentMessage == ar.length)
   currentMessage = 0
   timerID = setTimeout("showBanner()", pause)
   bannerRunning = true
   }
     }
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<!-- ##END SCROLLING -->
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
//this is to start the Scrolling Status Bar
startBanner();
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

2)Now my other question is about putting scroll bars in my blog entries. I can't seem to find that code anywhere.
