What is not working? Is there an error? Does it do nothing at all? Is the debugger pointing out a problem line?

It works for me when I add ">" to the <body> tag (missing in your code above.
Is that missing in your original code? Also, testing in IE, you can double-click an error-information symbol in status bar to get more info.

Plus, if you have MS Office installed, you should have or be able to install MS Script Editor which allow you some debugging.
