I have a problem with displaying the correct time/date in a Java
script. I would appreciate it if someone out there would offer a
solution. Here is the problem.
I use the following Java script in an html file to display the
revision date:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--hide script from old browsers
document.write("Last Updated: " + document.lastModified);
// end hiding -->
</script>
I revised and saved the file on June 19th, 1997, at 1:54 p.m.
CST. However, when I reload the file and viewed it in Netscape,
the revision date/time listed as:
Jun 19 18:54:00 1997
I don't know how this 5 hour difference was added to the revision
date.
1) How do I eliminate the time element in revision date?
2) How do I display the correct date/time?
3) How do I reformat the existing revision date to: 6/19/97 or
June 19, 1997?
Thanks in advance,
