Thread: How do add a copyright notice at the bottom?

I'm trying to add a copyright notice at the end of the webpage.

I opened the page html, added the script (copyright notice with auto updating) into "End of Page". However the copyright notice appeared right at the top of the page (instead of bottom), behind my webpage's template (thus it is no visible).

Any idea on how to solve this?

Note: though I can use the "add HTML" element, I prefer not to use it because I constantly updated my webpage and need to shift the "add HTML" element every time. For clearer picture, see www.horsedummies.com/results.html. As time goes by, the list get longer and the notice need to be shifted lower. But more importantly, the list is inserted by "add HTML" element, so I won't know where to shift the copyright notice to the right position except by trial and error.

Hi, i have no answer for this but just bumping it up the forum again for some extra views. Would like to know if it is possible myself.

Well, I tired it as end of body and end of page - and both instances brought it to the top of my page - even though when I read the page html - it's at the bottom.

This is very perplexing - and I wonder of those tags aren't working properly? VH - someone on the tech end want to take a look at this?

(BUMP!) I noticed a few people have requested this & it would be really handy to have a ???? Footer box or something, that you could place a menu/banner/copy write into that move’s down the page as more thing are added above it.
One of the things it would be handy for, is auto expanding iframes.

I believe the problem lies with the fact that BlueVoda uses the concept of "drag and drop" in designing websites. So what we are actually doing is simply pasting elements OVER the page and not IN the page. This makes the end of page = beginning of page as well because nothing has added to the page!

Hopefully someone can come up with a simple solution :)

Hi folks,

You can do this in iFrame. Somewhere on the forum Naval did a tutorial on installing your nav menu in iFrame. I did it and it works fantastically! You can also use this for footers.

Hi...Brin up a text box... type Copyright... (C) found under Insert/symbols.. then the year .. name of copyright holder... done!!!.. That's it... Doug

CORRECT

Since this site was built using Blue Voda (no one knows how to check anymore?), it is simply a matter of using a text box to create whatever footer is desired.

If this were a HTML, php, osCommerce, or Soholaunch template or foundation, you would simply enter the "webmaster" cPanel to edit that "page" (field, actually, but shown as "page") accordingly.

Yes, typing it on the page is easy - but what was being attempted was to add it to the page html - which I thought would work - just as we can add the php, etc info. I'm not sure why putting coding into the end is wrong.

Putting it into a text box wasn't what was at issue. Nor was using an iframe.

The issue here is automatically shifting the Copyright Notice when more information are added to the page. Problematic part is especially when the information is added by inserting a "HTML" box because you wouldn't know where the content ends so that the Copyright Notice can be added below it. Trial and error is one way but not the most efficient method.

Hi, I noticed a few had lost the plot on this thread.
I am not sure on this but I noticed that you have a bit of coding that is not showing up on the page.
As I was going to suggest to add it onto the end of your html.
Any reason why this is not showing???

This is what I mean when I add the script to the "page HTML - End of Page". The script is at the end of the html but when you see the webpage, it is right on top of the page (instead of at the end). In fact the copyright notice is right there on top, hiding behind my background template!

This is the full script.

Hi, I have tried all my limitations & can’t get it to happen.
It may be worth putting a new post up saying (Help please! How can I insert this script in my html page).
