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

Thanks Paul,
Also consider in the head meta tags, a link to copyright statement:
link rel=Copyright href=Copyright.html /
And in the page body put somewhere
copy; myplace 2007.
Add the copyright statement for non javascript users
noscriptcopy; myplace 2007. /noscript

Re: [WSG] unobtrusive js help
Paul, I agree with you and as I am trying to learn this stuff I'm going one step at a time in the hopes that I can one day drop the crutches I needed an example of how to put a js string in a text string. The next step will be to try and figure out how (I have some examples that I am playing with) to replace existing text with that generated by the js. The idea being: hard coded in the page would be © 2003 - 2007 Myplace, (the 2003 being the year the site went live) then on Jan. 1st 2008 the js would replace the 2007 with 2008, but if js is turned off it would still say 2007 until such time as the hard coding can be changed. Is there a server side way of doing it without turning the whole site into PHP or ASP? Thanks, Bob Bob, I'm glad you're getting help with your javascript problem.

Re: [WSG] unobtrusive js help
Paul, 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 Further thoughts on this statement: Leaving aside the copyright bit, I'm not so sure it is necessary to cater 100% to those without js as long as they are not being denied the primary content. An example: I am working on a script that generates a random quote in the right column of a page. If js is turned off nothing will show. However, that quote is not essential to the content of the site, it is just a bit of eye candy that the user with js turned off will not see and I don't see any reason to jump through hoops to try and give the non-js person something to see in its place. I am, however, trying to get away from js that does affect the primary content if turned off. It's like printing a book with a copyright notice that shows up only in artificial light but is invisible in daylight. To use your book example: desiging a site is like laying out a book according to a certian look and feel if published as designed, but having to take into consideration the fact that the possibility exists that it will be published with different fonts-at different sizes, no images, different page sizes, browser bugs etc., etc., etc. At some point we either draw some lines (often due to budget, client requests) or just publish plain text web pages. I have recently started trying to create the perfect template to use as a starting point for future web sites. I have been reading all the various arguments regarding font sizes, html vs xhtml served as text/html, etc., etc. only to discover that many of the gurus are now reversing themselves on what is right or ignoring some very strong and convincing arguments (backed up by examples) as to why their method is not the method to follow. It is a frustrating experience and in the end I'll probably just have to draw my own conclusions, as well as, lines.

Re: [WSG] unobtrusive js help
Michael, Thank you for the information. If we were in a perfect world it just might be reasonable to try and be as legal as possible, but reality is that the copyright notice is almost useless in that it only gives a (false) sense of protection, to actualy be protected is another matter. As a professional photographer I have had occasion to pursue copyright violations. Yes, the law is on my side, but due to the cost of lawyers, the violaters being in a different country, difficulty collecting even if I win the case, etc. it's rarely worth pursuing. So, in good faith, I put the copyright on clients sites, but as the saying goes it is as useful as tits on a bull.

Re: [WSG] unobtrusive js help
Michael, Another point. All the sites I do have something in them updated at least once a year, so the copyright (current year) would reflect the year of last revision.

I also don't think the if (yr!=2003) from the old js is necessary,
but I may be wrong

Personally, I don't think that the copyright information should be be
generated client side. But putting that issue aside...
I would shorten it by one line since year isn't needed:
var text = copy; + (new Date()).getFullYear() + myplace);
The parenthesis around new Date() aren't needed, but I thinks it makes
it a little clearer. While there are some parts of the order of
presidents that everyone should know, where new ranks versus .
(they're equal) isn't as important.

Agreed, but I tend to avoid early optimisation when writing examples,
as I think they should go step-by-step to make it easier for people
to follow. On the other hand, I'd completely abandoned that principle

In principle, I agree, but I also think it's better to give a more
proper example, so long as it remains clear. I wouldn't recommend using
as an example:
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById(testdiv).appendChild(document.createElement(p).
appendChild(document.createTextNode(copy; + new

I'm not sure if I would even write some thing like that, though, it is
