where on the page do you add the script?

if it's in the <head> part then you must read this carefully:

Simply insert the below where you wish the scrollable menu to appear:

So you have to add it somewhere between the <body> and </body> part to let it appear on the right place

I'm not exactly sure what you did wrong with the script, but try downloading it again, but this time with your links, try something like this

<nobr><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/lilaznboy48/index.htm">Tony\'s site...</a> | <a href="http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=XxCoNfuSedMoOerxX">XxCoNfuSedMoOerxX\'s Xanga </a> | <a href="http://www.lissaexplains.com">Lissa Explains (HTML Help)</a> | <a href="http://www.angelfire.com">Get your own Angelfire website</a> | <a href="http://www.thespark.com">Tests....</a></nobr>

Javascript is very testy with the apostrophes (i.e. I'm, you're, etc), so place a slash in front of the apostrophe will make it act like an apostrophe and not apart of the script itself. Hope this helps.
