Miscellaneous Hacks - JavaScript: Copyright Year Generation

Just because a bunch of people wanted me to release this. Here's a little JavaScript I wrote that you can place in your copyright statement to keep your year up to date. Just put it where you want the year to display:

<script type="text/javascript">
d = new Date();
y = d.getFullYear();
document.write(y);
</script>

OR

<script type="text/javascript">d = new Date();y = d.getFullYear();document.write(y);</script>

They both do the same thing, one's just on a single line.

A JS file attached just in case you want to keep it as a back up.

Thanks to Gasper for reminding me to put in the text/javascript tag.

Also, this works with any version of vBulletin (or should) and can be seen on vB.org.

nearly there, this would have worked.

document.write((new Date()).getFullYear());

Gah. I'm new to JavaScript. And I have to say, it's very low skill. But that totally makes sense.

Good job here mate. Javascript reminds me of unreal code in games - a mess to understand at the best of times, but very useful too. Compliments PHP nicely.

I am still learning. I got a book but half the time, it's just bad.
