<script type='text/javascript'>
function addLink(){var a=document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];var b;b=window.getSelection();var c="<br/><br/> Source : <a href='"+document.location.href+"'>"+document.location.href+"</a><br/>Content Copyrighted to HackingUniversity.in";var d=b+c;var e=document.createElement("div");e.style.position="absolute";e.style.left="-99999px";a.appendChild(e);e.innerHTML=d;b.selectAllChildren(e);window.setTimeout(function(){a.removeChild(e)},0)}document.oncopy=addLink
</script>

3. Now just edit the lines in red color to whatever you wanna display and that’s it save your gadget and drag it to the bottom of the template.
