Need Java Script help

EBFoxbat · 02-01-2005, 02:36 PM

I need a script for my website to write the day a file was last updated. There are a ton of simple scripts on google but I have a problem.

Where I want it to say "Last updated ##/##/##" is a different page then the one I want updated.

Basically I want to put a "last updated..." on my homepage that refers to my blog which is a diffent page. Any ideas? I really don't want to update the homepage by hand.

What webserver are you running?
Basically you can just use SSI = Server Side Include
Appache usually have this enable by default.
MS IIS usually have this disable. I just forgot how to set that up, but if you search MS site for SSI, it will give you instruction on how to setup SSI.

More info can be found here or your friendly search engine

[edit]
Well, if SSI is not an option maybe this (from NS JS Reference 1.3)

Code:

lastmod = document.lastModified // get string of last modified date
lastmoddate = Date.parse(lastmod)// convert modified string to date
if(lastmoddate == 0){// unknown date (or January 1, 1970 GMT)
document.writeln("Lastmodified: Unknown")
} else {
document.writeln("LastModified: " + lastmod)
}
