automatically insert current year

[Dave]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me a simple way of inserting some sort of code into a
Dreamweaver template (it goes at the bottom of the page in Copyright
info) that will cause the current year to be automatically inserted at
spot X when the pages are viewed that were produced from the template
or are linked to it?

Thanks
Dave

In the HTML portion of the page write:


Copyright &copy; <SCRIPT>
<!--
var year=new Date();
year=year.getYe ar();
if (year<1900) year+=1900;
document.write( year);
//-->
</SCRIPT> Your Name, All Rights Reserved.



This will get the date, grab the year from the date, check to make sure it
is in 4-digit format (just in case) and insert it after a copyright "C" in
a circle and before your name. If put in as it is here, it should look
like this:

Copyright © 2004 Your Name, All Rights Reserved

Good luck, LJL

Why not just:

Copyright &copy; <script type="text/javascript">
document.write( new Date().getFullY ear());
</script> Your Name, All Rights Reserved.

?

Hi Dave,

Without any knowlegde of Dreamweaver whatsoever, try this:

current year:
<script type="text/javascript">
D = new Date();
year = D.getFullYear() ;
document.write( year);
</script>

It produces the year as set on the clientmachine.
