Ah - found it -

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

On another post. Change PC date to next year and it updates the year of the date viewed.

Hi Philip

I note that you seem to have found your solution and that's cool.

For the faint of heart when it comes to using JavaScript, RoboHelp actually offers a way to accomplish it right from inside the UI.

For starters, I edited the footer area of a Master Page. In that footer I clicked Insert > Fields and Variables... This presented the Fields and Variables dialog.

From there I clicked New and replaced the default in the Current format field with yyyy.

Cheers... Rick

Hello Rick,

I tried that ... but when I moved the PC date into next year and refreshed the browser, it didn't change the date. It seems to insert the build date.

That's why I used the script - works every time.

Happy Christmas!

Philip
