How can I set up an auto-updating timestamp for the year next to the copyright symbol in Webflow?

To set up an auto-updating timestamp for the year next to the copyright symbol in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

1. Add a text element to your page: Drag and drop a text element onto your page wherever you want the timestamp to be displayed.

2. Enter the copyright symbol and set up the default year: Double-click on the text element to enter your desired copyright symbol (usually "©") followed by a space. Then, type your default year (for example, "2022").

3. Create a custom code embed: Right-click on the text element, then select "Add new option" and choose "Custom code." In the code section, select "Before tag" option.

4. Add JavaScript code to update the year: In the custom code section, add the following JavaScript code to update the year dynamically:

<script type="text/javascript">  const currentYear = new Date().getFullYear();  document.getElementById("your-text-element-id").innerHTML = "© " + currentYear;</script>

Make sure to replace "your-text-element-id" with the actual ID of your text element. To find the ID, select the text element, go to the settings panel on the right, click on the "Element Settings" tab, and give it a name under "Element ID".

1. Save and publish changes: Once you have added the JavaScript code, save your changes and publish your site to see the auto-updating timestamp in action.

Now, whenever a user visits your website, the JavaScript code will fetch the current year from the user's device and update the text element with the copyright symbol and the updated year. This ensures that the year is always up-to-date without manually editing it.

Note: If you want to style the text element further, you can use Webflow's built-in design tools or apply custom CSS.
