Current year help

[sircharlo]

Hey guys,I would like to do a simple copyright notice at the bottom of my page, using the copyright symbol and year, like this:

Copyright © 2007 by Twit Industries

Instead of having to update my pages every year, isn't there a simple way to display the current year in JS ?Thank you very much !P.S. Up to yesterday, I never did a thing in JS without a generator, so I would need really easy instructions, or cut-paste stuff. Thank you !Also, since I am going to be using the same script on every page, is there a way to link to an external .JS file (like CSS) ?

var dateObj = new Date();var year = dateObj.getFullYear();You can use a src attribute with a script tag to point to a file, check the reference for the script tag.

Some "cut & paste" code

Copyright © <script type="text/javascript">var dateObj = new Date();var year = dateObj.getFullYear();document.write(year);</script> by Twit Industries

Thanks !P.S. Would an other scirpting method be better (VBScript, other ?)

If you are doing this on the client-side, then the only viable solution, really, is javascript. VBScript only works on IE. I suppose you could use Flash, but that seems like a lot of wasted development and overhead just to show the year on the screen.

Yeah, true.
