running scripts on web page
why won't fire fox show this script when accessing a web page... it works in IE...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function displaydatetime() {
if (!document.layers && !document.all) return;
var today;
var timeLocal;
var timeUTC;
today = new Date();
timeLocal = today.toLocaleString();
timeUTC = today.toUTCString();
if (document.layers) {
document.layers.clockLocal.document.write(timeLocal);
document.layers.clockLocal.document.close();
document.layers.clockUTC.document.write(timeUTC);
document.layers.clockUTC.document.close();}
else if (document.all) {
clockLocal.innerHTML = timeLocal;
clockUTC.innerHTML = timeUTC;}
setTimeout("displaydatetime()", 500)
}
window.onload = displaydatetime;
</script>
or this...

That is a very old script: if (!document.layers && !document.all) return;
Firefox doesn't support either of them, document.layers is old Netscape code and document.all is IE code, so Firefox does return.
In modern browsers you need to use document.getElementById
See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/document.getElementById
