Couple things...
First, in your Event.observe call, remove the parenthesis from
doUpdate() so you pass the function itself rather than calling it.
Second, you don't actually need to use the load event since your JS
follows the "time" div. The div has been loaded into the DOM, so you
can go ahead and reference it. If you put your script in the header
(which I would), then you need the load event.
All that said, your code should still create the PeriodicalUpdater.
Make sure you're not getting a security warning in IE, and also try
retrieving a static text file.
