If the code above is exactly what you tried, there is a part of it
missing. Try this:

<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase.js"><script>

But to be honest, you don't need the Javascript at all. The content in
the *js file is only a link to a iframe and you can put only that on
the page where you want it to display. The iframe code is:

<IFRAME src="http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchaseheadlines-ex.php"
frameBORDER=0 HEIGHT=555 WIDTH=400 scrolling=no></IFRAME>

Clearly, something disappeared from my quote. You're correct, the code is

Do you know why it doesn't work?

I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The last <script> should be </script>

As Sharif says, the closing tag should be </script> if you use the
script. I missed that, there is no "/" in it. But it works fine for me
even then, even if it don't validate of cause

But as I say'd, you can use only the IFRAME code alone as it work just
the same. The advantage with only the IFRAME is that you can change
the height because there is now a lot of white space and a counter
under the content. You can see the difference here if you like:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://w1.978.telia.com/~u97802964/iframe.html" target="_blank">http://w1.978.telia.com/~u97802964/iframe.html</a>

On top is the IFRAME alone and in the bottom same thing executed via
the Javascript. The height in the IFRAME code is only 340 pixels.

It was. I don't know what the problem is with me correctly pasting the
URL. Sorry for the wasted brain cells...

The IFRAME works great.

This is interesting because there is only one chart displayed. The
JavaScript is apparently not executing. My Google Toolbar must be
blocking it, or either I have something else disabled for JavaScript in
IE6. The bottom line is, the IFRAME is the way to go.

Thanks for taking the time.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

That's the second advantage using the IFRAME, even visitors with
Javascript disabled can see it

Just set the height to what you want (need) to have all chart content
visible.

Interesting.

Can Google follow an iframe?

Is it well supported across browsers?

Well, a frame is a frame even if it's a iframe
In this case the OP want to display links with headline news to an
other site who has it as a service. I don't think it's a big
disadvantage for the OP when it's not importent content from of his
own site?

IFRAME is not supported by older browsers (i.e. NS 4.xx) but it is
valid.

In case you missed the buried answer.........

The end <script> should be </script>
Without the closing tag, the decoding just continues dropping down the
source code line by line until it finds the closing tag. If none is present,
you either get a screwed up page or nothing.
And you should also <script type="javascript/text"> instead of "language".<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

BTW, I just tried it and it worked just fine.

<script style="javascript/text"
src="http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase.js">
</script>


Put those two lines in the BODY of your code where you want it to display.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
