It isn't working becuase your Javascript is a shambles.

A simple search in Google, and here's your code:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var text="content of text here";
var delay=50;
var currentChar=1;
var destination="";

function type()
{
  if (document.getElementById)
  {
    var dest=document.getElementById(destination);
    if (dest)
    {
      dest.innerHTML=text.substr(0, currentChar);
      currentChar++
      if (currentChar>text.length)
      {
        currentChar=1;
        setTimeout("type()", 5000);
      }
      else
      {
        setTimeout("type()", delay);
      }
    }
  }
}
function startTyping(textParam, delayParam, destinationParam)
{
  text=textParam;
  delay=delayParam;
  currentChar=1;
  destination=destinationParam;
  type();
}
</script>
  </head>
  <body>
  <div id="textDestination">...</div>
  </body>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  startTyping(text, 50, "textDestination");
  </script>
</html>

Yo! No Nick! Ever heard of the code tags? If you want help, you should format your stuff so that it's easier to read. If you don't know what they are, then ask and we'll tell you.
