Hi Y'all,

I know this is not an Xbase++ problem but, will appreciate any help
you can give.  I've chased my tail on the Internet and unable to find
an answer that works.

This is JS code in my HTML file.
document.write(document.lastModified)

Chrome and Safari web browsers render this as current GMT date/time.
IOW it changes each time the page is refreshed.

IE 10 and Firefox render it correctly, i. e., date/time the HTML file
was last modified.

Thanks,

And you are surprised why??? LOL

I suppose it is a differences in interpretation on what is being modified.

According to 
   https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/DOM/document.lastModified 
document.lastModified is "Not part of any standard" - so it is up to the
browser maker how this is interpreted.

You might also find more information here (attention, loads of documents!):

Thanks Thomas,  

Already looked at some of those.  Will review again.

Have about decided there's no reliable way to do what I'm trying in
all browsers.

Not the solution I wanted but, have hard coded the DateTime.

       document.write("Last Updated: <BR>");
       document.write("4/24/13 4:10 PM");

Which I'll need to change each time I update the site.

Can't win all of them.
