Do not use language="JavaScript", unnecessary since abt. 2000

You cannot use document.underText unless it is IE-only.
You cannot use .write like that anyway.
You cannot even use document.write after the page is ready,
and the DOM made, because an default documnet.open will be assumed and
that will destroy the previous HTML, DOM and the script itself!!!
So use the DOM to write to a div:
document.getElementById('underText').innerHTML = displayName;
