inserting dynamic copyright with jQuery?

$("#footer").append("<p>&copy; 2011</p>");

Is there a way to make the year update on its own开发者_开发技巧?

Why don't you use php instead ? Stick some php code that retrieves the current year in your paragraph tag and you're done ;)

var today = new Date;
var year = today.getFullYear();
$("#footer").append("<p>&copy; "+ year + "</p>");

try:

$("#footer").append( "<p>&copy; " + (new Date).getFullYear() + "</p>");

$("#footer").append( "<p>&copy; " + (new Date).getFullYear() + "</p>"); 

$("#footer").append( "<p>&copy; " + (new Date).getFullYear() + "</p>");

This may work:

var d=new Date();  
$("#footer").append("<p>&copy; "+ d.getFullYear() +"</p>");
