I'm trying to get two different random ad banners working on the same 
page(s) of my site. The first one (randomads3.js) is a 728x90 
leaderboard at the top, and the other one (randomads2.js) is a 60x600 
skyscraper further down the page.

As you can see I put the script type for the two banners above the 
<head>, then the adblock for the first one below the <body> at the top, 
and the adblock for the other one further down the page.

Both ads are displaying, but for some reason the top banner 
(randomAds3.js) is loading two banners from the same folder, one below 
the other, and I only want one banner of this type to display.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: here is the content of the two random ads .js files if that helps:
