How to get the last updated date of a different file

[Ade]

Hi,

I am a complete novice to Javascript, so please excuse me if this is a
simple task. I have been playing with frames in a test piece in a book I
have, and one of them displays the data and time of last update,
unfortunately, this is the date that the source file for the particular
frame was updated. Can I tell Javascript which file I want to get the last
updated date from?

I am using the usual
dm = new Date (document.lastModified);

Thanks,

Ade

I think you can get the header details of other pages of your own site
by using XMLHttpRequest() - see FAQ 4.44 and the jibbering link therein.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.
