I'm looking for a bit of Javascript that will automatically update the copyright date on my site. I turned 44 this past Friday and I'm getting too lazy in my old age to update the copyright every year.

as far as i know, there isnt just a year function for JS, i could be wrong though. i know you can do the exact day or time though. but, if you name your pages .php, instead of .html, if you dont already have them as php, then you can use a php date function.


<?=date("Y")?>

<script language="javascript">
var odate = new Date( );
document.write( odate.getFullYear() );
</script>


or



<script language="javascript">
document.write( new Date( ).getFullYear() );
</script>

LOL @ the size differnce between PHP and JS to get the same result :p
Im wondering what it would be for the day/month/year though
Cause that could come in handy for me on a cpl of html pages.

<script language="javascript">
var oDate = new Date( );
document.write( oDate.getDate( ) + '/' + (oDate.getMonth( ) + 1) + '/' + oDate.getFullYear( ) );
</script>

just a pointer (yes this is nazi level) using short tags isn't really great practice, just stick to regular ones, its really not that much extra.
