Can I add a script in a footer

[SueB]

Can I add a (code) script that I'd like to use as a footer for each page on my website?

If so, can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks,
Sue

Sue, easier to explain if you advise what result you are after or a reference to the code itself.

There is no simple approach but for a single instance, you would create a Placeholder shape and then add the code to its body.
Unfortunately, cloning this across all pages will probably not work if a HMTL ID reference is used; it needs to be a Class reference.

It's a copyright script that adds the year each year without having to go into each one and change it.

Here it is: <p>Copyright © 2016-
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--- Hide from old browsers
document.write(y0);
// end hiding --->
</SCRIPT>

There will be a method somewhere that add the current year to the variable y0; do you have that?

I think this is all I have and it works

Sorry, it doesn't and it can't.
Somewhere in your header, you will have a piece of code to get today's date...

P.S. I have added your code to a Placeholder and run it; all you get is "Copyright © 2016-".

Sorry... maybe this is it..hope this helps you, help me
<div id="footer"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

//Script created by Ronny Drappier, http://sipreal.com
//Visit http://javascriptkit.com for this script

today=new Date();
y0=today.getFullYear();

// end hiding --->
</SCRIPT>

<center>Copyright © 2008-<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--- Hide from old browsers
document.write(y0);
// end hiding --->
</SCRIPT>

I also add a no right click script...
I think this is it...
</div><script language=JavaScript>

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")

A better approach might be along the lines of https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...in-placeholder.

Create a text box with text "Copyright © 2016"
To its Placeholder HTML code(body), insert:

<span>Copyright &copy; 2016-<script>new Date().getFullYear()>2006&&document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script></span>

This can be repeated on all pages as a footer-locked textbox. Yopu can alter the font, size and colour of the textbox to round it all off.

Don't bother with disabling right clicks; that way lies madness.

I'll have to learn the "placeholder" stuff. New to this.
Can you tell me more details how to do it? Read the linked post..but still unsure. I'm guessing what you mean "footer-locked textbox" is just that, a textbox that is looked and duplicated on all pages?

I know there is controversy about the right click...I'd rather try to disable it for those that don't know any better. Artwork is important to try to save from being stolen. Watermarks detract from the prettiness of it but I do that also. Most of my audience is not computer savvy.

Any way to disable the right click that you care to share?

A placeholder is usually just a simple rectangle positioned where you want something to appear and in this case designated as a Footer.

Select the rectangle, then select Placeholder from the Web Properties fly out on the Infobar.

Click Body and paste the script.
