Javascript for updating dates on file upload

[DBSSP]

I have small problem figuring out how to make dates next to links change. I basically need the code to look at when the creation date of the file and change the diplayed "last update" date to the the same value.

I tried using .lastmodified, but that's only good for the webpage it's in. Any ideas? Can javascript even do this?

Certainly not pure JavaScript. However, using IE, you could use the MSXML HttpRequest object to extract the Last-Modified date out of the request headers.

Have a play with this:
[tt]
function getLastModified(strURL){
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0"
xmlhttp.open("GET", strURL, false);
xmlhttp.send();
alert(xmlhttp.getResponseHeader("Last-Modified&quot);
}
[/tt]

Thanks for the help, but I forgot about SSI...Doh! One little line. *sigh* guess that's what happens when you have to multi-task, eh?
