Having problems downloading something to my signature line
I would like to have the US Cost of Wars Clock/Counter as my signature - but it's not working. Here is the website: http://costofwar.com/en/

When I right click on the top clock: "Embed" and "open link in new tab" I get this:

(I am only interested in step 3)

Embed Total Wars Since 2001 Counter

To embed the Total Cost of War Since 2001 counter on your website, blog, etc, follow these simple instructions:

1. Place the following code in the <head> section of your website

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.costofwar.com/costofwar-embed.js"></script>

2. Place the following style declaration somewhere in your page or your CSS stylesheet. Please note: these are the standard CSS declarations we would like you to use, but please feel free to modify the CSS in any way that fits your needs.

<style type="text/css"> #costOfWarTotal { text-align: center; width: 270px; font-weight: bold; } #costOfWarTotal_Total { font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: bold; color: #990000; } #costOfWarTotal_Link { font-size: .7em; } </style>

3. Place the following code where you wish to place the counter.

<div id="costOfWarTotal"> <script language="JavaScript"> initCostOfTotal(); updateCostOfTotal(100); </script> </div>

4. That's it! The Total Cost Of War since 2001 counter should appear on your site.

I have copied/pasted step #3 to signature area and nothing happens. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Could maybe someone else try to do this and see what happens?

Many Thanks!!!!

1. You are probably out of luck.
You will probably need to replace the <> with [] to get things working at a minimum. However, the instructions attached to the signature box say you cannot use script.
