Hello
I use this copright update script on a number of pages

<script type="text/javascript">
//ATOJ (c) 2002 www.atouchofjamaica.com
//use script freely "freeware script"
//keep copyright information in script

copyright=new Date();
update=copyright.getYear();

//---write copyright
document.write("Copyright © 2000-"+ update + "   JBonline Jervis Bay Online  JB Online  - www.jervis-bay-nsw.com.au   All rights Reserved.");

</script>
But for some reason will not work on this page

Have tryed re pasting but just will not work

Would some one mind looking at source to see what I have stuffed up

I don't know what browsers you have tested that on, but it should give you a date stamp that is off by 1900 years. (http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.5/reference/date.html#1194138) And you don't need a variable at all.
