Can someone fix this watermark cut-n-past script by Paul Anderson to work with a Transitional Doctype

rfr

Apparently the Transitional Doctype kills this script because the script
does not make proper use of units like "px".

It works well without a doctype statement. But once someone adds a
transitional doctype, the js script no longer works.

Can someone familiar with javascript bring it up-to-date so that it works
with current doctypes and post it here for others to make use of?

The whole HTML document including the js scrip follows ( this was a footer
on a section of my comunity web site: I added the doctype and " " codes
to make a test platform of it);
