Newb needs help with Javascript

[MOHunter]

Greetings all!  I was hoping someone here could help a SMF newbie out.  I am wanting to add a Javascript based rotating banner to my forum.  I was wondering if there was any way to get this to operate properly in the News Box, and if not, how would I go about adding it into the forum template itself, perhaps between the News Box area and the top of the forums list.  I have tried running the script in the News Box, but it will not function.

FYI, I am using SMF 1.1.4.  Thank you very much, and please just ask if you need any further information!
