What I am trying to do is create a footer on all my pages under my root folder that contains certain information, especially the last modified date of the page. I have got the code working to get the last modified date (using javascript). I put the javascript code (posted at end) in the OnRequestEnd.cfm file on the top root, and it works, just not the way I want it. Instead of giving the last date modified of the page loaded, it gives the last modified date of the OnRequestEnd.cfm file. If anyone has any help or suggestions I would appreciate it. The following is my OnRequestEnd.cfm

Thanks Simu, I tried something like that before, but could not figure out how to get the expandPath function to work in a couple of minutes, so I just moved onto to something I knew I could do quick (sick of working on it after a certain amount of time, I'm sure everyone has felt this way). Thank you for the tip though, it certainly cleaned up my code.
