I suppose you mean PHP or ASP or similar?
If so, wouldn't this be taking things to an extreme just to do a
simple copyright that is already handled so well with this little JS?
Bob
Javascript is for behaviour, not content (or structure, really).
Therefore, if you want to dynamically change a year like that, it
SHOULD be enshrined in markup (which means static or server-side
processing).

Lachlan,
I'm going to take your much appreciated response one bit at a time.
By doing as you suggested, I lose the point of having used the JS
in the
first place.
(For the purposes of this discussion, let's assume that having the
copyright
notices reflect the current year is a desired thing).
With the JS all copyright notices are automaticaly updated when
the year
changes, with your method I would have to go back to each site and
manualy
change them.
This is sort of the contrary to one of the reasons for seperating
structure
from presentation in the "why CSS is good" argument.

This one all alone on the page, with no linked JS in the <head>:
<div id="copy">
<script type="text/javascript">
var d=new Date();
yr=d.getFullYear();
if (yr!=2003)
document.write("© "+yr);
</script> Cedar Tree Books
</div>
<p id="copy">(c) 2005 Cedar Tree Books</p>
No script (or entity reference) required.
