Can I add a script in a footer

Of course it would be best to ask a copyright attorney! I don't have a copyright attorney but just want to cover my rear-end, as they say!
Too bad she charges you too or I'd have you ask her...I haven't made enough money to hire anyone!

I was only kidding. But my wife is an artist and not an attorney.

I did a quick search and found this:

Oh, my...you are way too funny! I've had a whole discussion about copyright on photographs. Artwork is a whole other issue. The general public does not understand anyways. We artists need to stick together...I try to educate my friends who haven't a clue that when they take a screen shot it is "stealing" and to be careful.

I've just tried this and it doesn't work for me. When I go back to view it, it's just what I typed and not the script to add the ending year.When I go back to the placeholder and look at the html code (body) it is empty, even though I had applied it first and clicked okay.

What am I doing wrong please?

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:
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 know. Here is my version: Copy Right.xar

Thanks much, Acorn!

I got the script working but it is not centering on the page in preview, no matter what I try. Why?

Here's a screen shot. It's centered on the page working on it, but once previewed, it is not centered.

[Acorn]

Then the text object you have made is no longer text. Has it been stretched or rotated?

To check, remove the Placeholder code so you just have the straight text. Preview and try to highlight the text. Does it act like an image or text?

Hi Acorn. If I delete the html code, it is not deleting! I delete it, click ok, then apply. Check it, it's gone. Go and preview it, it looks like "text." Go back to it and the code is still there. I've got no clue!

But I"m thinking you are right...there is a flower on the right box of it. What does this mean?

I copied Acorn's script above. When I make my own textbox and then add the html code in the placeholder, my script does not work. Acorn's did!

I see it says "edit widget." Can I somehow tell it to center and have it work? this is the script: <span>Copyright &copy; BCCSC 2016-<script>new Date().getFullYear()>2006&&document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script></span>

Sue, a flower is the symbol for a Live copy.
I assume this is across all you pages and the code should work for that too.

i have checked further and the Live Copy and other font attributes elsewhere seem to interfere with the aligment my code is expecting form Xara.

The code you have used is correctly working here but to play safe use this:<span><center>Copyright &copy; BCCSC 2016-<script>new Date().getFullYear()>2006&&document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script></center></span>, where you can add <center></center>, <left></left>, <right></right> TAGS to align your text.
