How to know the last update of a web page, don't all servers provide them

[sharkie]

Hi,
How to know the last update of a web page,
when i right clik and go into properties, i see current date for all
the pages i have seen, does that mean that the web servers which i am
accessing are not providing the last modified date or is there another
way i can know the last modified date,


thankx in advance,

alex

I may be wrong...but I don't think there is a way to find
out the last modified date, unless the developer has put a
script in the coding to do that. If I am wrong, I
wouldn't mind finding out how, myself !!

FWIW I would say that many pages are dynamically created
so yes, their Last Modified timestamp would be very recent.

or is there another way i can know the last modified date,

Type in your Address bar while viewing a file you want to test:

javascript:document.lastModified

(Case sensitive property name.)


OTOH if the page is cached it may be easier to use the TIF Viewer
with a Details view. (Keystrokes: Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V Alt-V,D)
Then look in the Last Modified column.

Type the following command into the address bar when you are on the
desired page.

javascript:alert(document.lastModified)
