Although I’ve been maintaining a website for the last five-six years, I’m a web-designer boofhead.

I just noticed that the copyright line in the footer has a static year in it. There must be an easy-enough way to put the current year in there (javascript, probably). I’ve been googling and not come up with anything that’s less than about thirty lines of code, which I thought was over-egging the pudding.

Is there an easier way?

Got it, here is the script

Thanks to some guy name Guy at ttp://csscreator.com/node/4922

I modified his code to put a copyright notice + year on a single line. Copy the code below into the source code of your web page where you want the copyright notice to appear:

Now Laurie I want to thank you. Yesterday afternoon I decided to kill my cable TV service and get back to basics, if not BASIC. So last night instead of watching premium channels on digital TV I started to surf the web for a direction. I saw Laurie’s post and decided that was something I could do. As I have said I am more of an artist than a tech/coder, but these days you need to be a bit of both.

Thank you! I’m going to give it a go in the weekend.

As a point of clarification, I am not Laura, nor, by extension, a woman.

In countries outside the US, Laurie is predominantly a male name…

Yes, I caught that yesterday and edited my posts, but I missed a few.

Notice how many people have viewed this thread, about 120.

Excellent - thank you - even Tom Brown would begrudgingly have been impressed!

Here’s goes the code in effect: http://www.orpheuschoir.org.nz

Because I’m too cheap to shell out for any commercial software, I semi-hand-code it in NVU. For what I want to do, it works fine.
