Geocities Watermark

You know those sites on Geocities that have their logo at the bottom right of the page, and it scrolls down as you do, remaining in the same relative position? Here's a script that does the same thing.

This example uses an inline style sheet for the logo, but you can use a graphic if you like; just replace the text to be written with the IMG tag.

Here's the code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
