<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL HEADLINER:
1. Add the onLoad event handler to the BODY tag
2. Copy the specified code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
<!-- STEP ONE: Add this onLoad event handler to the BODY tag -->
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function SymError()
{
return true;
}
window.onerror = SymError;
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad="StartHeadliner()">
<!-- STEP TWO: Put this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->
