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;

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
