What do you mean by auto-update?

I have been looking online to see if there was any javascript code that can automatically update the copyright information (i.e. 2009 change to 2010) that can be incorporated into the smugmug customization. So far, I have found a bunch of javascript code independent of smugmug so i was just wondering...i've found code that looks something like this and other versions:

******** type='text/javascript'>
copyright=new Date();
update=copyright.getFullYear();
document.write("Copyright © 2001-"+ update + " (your company name) All rights reserved.");
// End -->
</********

Let's see...control panel-->Customize-->Advanced Site-wide Customization.

I've only got a static right click message, so this is a guess with the code you posted above. Place this in your "Top JavaScript" box:copyright=new Date();
update=copyright.getFullYear();
rightClickWarning = "Copyright © 2001-"+ update + " (your company name) All rights reserved."
