I'm trying to add a widget to my dashboard and can't seem to figure out how to do so. It's from mycountdown.org. I've tried inserting a couple different ways, but none work. Here's the link:

 

<!-- Begin of mycountdown.org script --> <div align="center" style="margin:15px 0px 0px 0px"> <noscript> <div align="center" style="width:140px;border:1px solid #ccc; background: #340ECC; color: #C90407;font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;"> <a style="text-decoration: none; color:#C90407;" href="http://mycountdown.org/My_Countdown/My_countdown/">My Countdown </a></div> </noscript> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://mycountdown.org/countdown.php?cp3_Hex=0F0200&cp2_Hex=340ECC&cp1_Hex=C90407&ham=0&img=&hbg=0&hfg=0&sid=0&fwdt=200&lab=1&text1=Ironman Lake Placid&text2=You will do this!&group=My Countdown&countdown=My Countdown&widget_number=3010&event_time=1374994800&timezone=America/New_York"></script></div> <!-- End of mycountdown.org script -->

 

I've tried it with and without the "Begin/End of mycountdown.org script". Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry but that isn't going to run in the blog. The Begin/End part is just a comment and has no effect on it. The "noscript" tag is for browsers that don't have javascript enabled.

The meat of this is the "script" tag which tells the browser to execute the enclosed code. We don't allow dynamic inclusion of "script" tags as it would pose serious security risks to both the site and anyone viewing the page that included the tag.

If you're looking for a countdown timer that will run in your blog, take a look at TickerFactory.com.
