I'll start with the easy one first:

Here's my pathetic attempt:
window.onload = function() {
var para = document.createElement("p");

Bob,
I'm glad you're getting help with your javascript problem. However:
Unobtrusive javascript doesn't just mean separation of the script from
the markup, it is also the use of javascript that doesn't break the
page when scripting is disabled.
http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/chapter1.html
For example, a hyperlink that reloads the page with new content can be
morphed by javascript to display the new content immediately without
returning to the server. Regardless of whether javascript is enabled,
the new content shows up. Unobtrusive javascript enhances the page
but the page doesn't DEPEND on javascript.
Your use of javascript to display a copyright notice means that the
copyright won't be displayed when javascript isn't running. This
isn't unobtrusive, it's obtrusive. It's like printing a book with a
copyright notice that shows up only in artificial light but is
invisible in daylight. I can't imagine you're protecting your
client's intellectual property rights by generating the copyright
notice in such a fragile way. Please generate the notice server-side
-- or hard-code it into the html -- so it shows up for everyone
viewing the content.
Regards,
Paul
