How do I implement this JavaScript?

I was given this Javascript file:
It is to make a breadcrumb menu on the bottom of the webpage.
How do I make this work? I'm kind of lost.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
  <title></title>
  <meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer">
  <meta name="CocoaVersion" content="824.41">
  <style type="text/css">
    p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}
  </style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="p1">function breadcrumbs(){</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>sURL = new String;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>bits = new Object;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>var x = 0;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>var stop = 0;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>var output = "&lt;a href=\"/\"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;  &gt;  ";</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>sURL = location.href;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>sURL = sURL.slice(8,sURL.length);</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>chunkStart = sURL.indexOf("/");</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>sURL = sURL.slice(chunkStart+1,sURL.length)</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>while(!stop){</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>chunkStart = sURL.indexOf("/");</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>if (chunkStart != -1){</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">      </span>bits[x] = sURL.slice(0,chunkStart)</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">      </span>sURL = sURL.slice(chunkStart+1,sURL.length);</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>}else{</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">      </span>stop = 1;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>}</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>x++;</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>}</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>for(var i in bits){</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>output += "&lt;a href=\"";</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>for(y=1;y&lt;x-i;y++){</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">      </span>output += "../";</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>}</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">    </span>output += bits[i] + "/\"&gt;" + bits[i] + "&lt;/a&gt;  &gt;  ";</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>}</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>document.write(output + document.title);</p>
<p class="p1">}</p>
</body>
</html>

Below is a graphic of what the JavaScript is supposed to do. It's supposed to generate a breadcrumb menu.
Thanks

Come to think of it, It has Applets. Java has Applets NOT JavaScript, right?
Maybe my boss didn't know what he was sending me?
Anyone?
