You are missing quotes all over!

<a href="http://www.gocurrency.com/" id="gocurrencytable">Currency Converter</a><script src="http://gocurrency.com/v2/table_f.php?cur=USD;EUR;GBP;JPY;CAD;AUD&v=1"> </script>

why the adsense code dont show

[Micha]

Where did you put your code?
What is the code you inserted?
What is the URL of your site?

Please be more specific about this.

thank you,

the code adsense is:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Can you please share the URL of your website where you inserted the code?

Also, can you share exact code of your google ad sense?

Can you please share the URL of your website where you inserted the code?Not everyone wants to post his url here Micha.

Not everyone wants to post his url here Micha.

I can understand that, but than how would someone expect to get help.
In many cases the problem is different from site to site, and on most of them you need to see the code behind.

And if someone don't want to share his URL, well, in that case, I cant help much, except to say, Google and Yahoo ads always works when I insert them, and I have no idea why they don't work for you.

And to recommend reading of developer manual (templates section - http://www.vivvo.net/doc/v4/developer_manual/templates_folder.php) and w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/)

Google and Yahoo ads always works when I insert them, and I have no idea why they don't work for you.While appreciating your viewpoint, i don't see why there shouldn't be some sort of middle ground. Below is the original header file:
<div id="header">
<div class="header_image"><img src="{VIVVO_THEME}img/header.jpg" alt="header" /></div>
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/pages.tpl" />
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/dhtml_menu.tpl" />
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/search.tpl" />
</div>

I deleted this line:
<div id="header">
<div class="header_image"><img src="{VIVVO_THEME}img/header.jpg" alt="header" /></div>
</div>

From what's left, WHERE and HOW would you place the Google Javascript up there?

Or is this the wrong file? The JS is totally stripped in the output. Yet, it the same JS works in all the Default files for ARTICLES, etc.

Thanks.

<div id="header">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/pages.tpl" />
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/dhtml_menu.tpl" />
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/search.tpl" />
</div>

That's how I insert them inside header.

Thanks Micha. Your post proved very helpful. Let me post my findings just in case it helps someone else down the road.

I went back to investigate, based on what you say works for you as posted above. I stripped out my Menu html and positioned the JS in the header file as you have it above. It appears and works fine.

I then started playing around with positioning it. Still fine.

As soon as I added my site-wide html menu ABOVE it, the JS disappeared again. When I placed the menu BELOW the JS, both the menu and the Google ad appeared. So, my temporary workaround is to keep the site menu below the Google ad for now, until I can play around with it to figure out what aspect of the menu is breaking the JS.

You were most helpful.
