How to include JavaScript in a static block?

I have a static block in the back end with identifier veri-sign where in I would like to display the veri-sign logo which when clicked takes the user to the verisign certificate page.

This is my code in the Static Block in the back end

       <div id="left-block1-verisign" style="border: 2px solid #f4f5e9; width: 180px; padding: 5px;">
       <p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin-left: 8px; color: #4e2488;">Safe &amp; Secure</p>
      <script src="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mysite.com&amp;size=S&amp;use_flash=NO&amp;use_transparent=NO&amp;lang=en"></script>
      </div>

I am calling this static block in page.xml file in left column like this,

      <block type="cms/block" name="cms_test_block4">
           <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>veri-sign</block_id></action>
      </block>

The block displays fine without the Verisign logo and just the text 'Safe and Secure'. I have gone through many posts on different forums but never really got an answer from there.

I used Firebug to see if it includes my Javascript at all. It includes the <script> line but not the javascript inside it which is this,

     <script src="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?host_name=www.mysite.com&size=S& use_flash=NO&use_transparent=NO&lang=en">
    <!--
     dn="www.mysite.com";
     lang="en";
     tpt="opaque";
     vrsn_style="WW";
     splash_url="https://trustsealinfo.verisign.com";
     rStr="";
     seal_url="https://seal.verisign.com";
      u1=splash_url+"/splash?form_file=fdf/splash.fdf&dn="+dn+"&lang="+lang;u2=seal_url+"/getseal?at=0&sealid=2&dn="+dn+"&lang="+lang+rStr;var sopener;function vrsn_splash(){if(sopener&&!sopener.closed){sopener.focus();}else{tbar="location=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=560,height=500";var sw=window.open(u1,'VRSN_Splash',tbar);if(sw){sw.focus();sopener=sw;}}}
     var ver=-1;var v_ua=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();var re=new RegExp("msie ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");if(re.exec(v_ua)!==null){ver=parseFloat(RegExp.$1);}
     var v_old_ie=(v_ua.indexOf("msie")!=-1);if(v_old_ie){v_old_ie=ver<5;}
     function v_mact(e){var s;if(document.addEventListener){s=(e.target.name=="seal");   
     if(s){vrsn_splash();return false;}}else if(document.captureEvents){var tgt=e.target.toString();s=(tgt.indexOf("splash")!=-1);if(s){vrsn_splash();return false;}}
     ......
     N wHOLE LOAD of VERISIGN COde
    -->
   </script>
   <a tabindex="-1" href="javascript:vrsn_splash()">
   <img border="true" alt="Click to Verify - This site has chosen an SSL Certificate to improve Web site security" oncontextmenu="return false;" src="https://seal.verisign.com/getseal?at=0&sealid=2&dn=www.mysite.com&lang=en" name="seal">
   </a>

It neither includes the code from the script nor the image and the <a> tag.

I dont know if the script needs to be added through page.xml file or not? But if that's the case how will it know that its supposed to be executed from my block.

I am kinda confused here and need some help. I'm sure some one must have successfully done this (including verisign certificate on your magento site), just taht I'm doing thru a Static Block.

I have a twitter feed as well in static block which has external twitter JavaScript which works fine. But the verisign logo doesn't.
