Cant seem to find the control that displays the last time a page was
updated? Any help here!

With a page open click the mouse where you want it inserted then on the Toolbar click Insert > Date
and Time.

I thought that would display the current date and time.
If not, then I need to know how to display that too.

Add the current Date and Time to your page:
Dates, dates, and more dates...

In FP 2002 you have a choice under Insert > time and date...


1) time/date page automatically updated
2) time/date page lasted edited.

Isn't that what you want?


To display current date & time, you probably need a small javascript or asp code

like

<%
displaytime(now);
displaydate(now);
%>

or whatever the correct syntax is.

I guess I don't know the difference between the two. I see the two options.
Is it your understanding that:
Page last edited .... is as it implies (last time uploaded to server)
Page automtically updated is the current date & Time.

If so, then I need nothing else.

No, you need a JavaScript clock to show the current time as at the Users
location (why? there is a perfectly good clock in the bottom right of the
screen.), or a server side script (ASP, PHP Perl/CGI) to show the current
time on the server, which may be in a different time zone.

Page last edited is the time and date you opened the page in FrontPage
and saved it.
Page automatically updated is the time and date any part of the page was
changed, including a shared border, include page or the content of the page
itself.

[If the Timestamp is in an include page or shared border, "Page last edited"
is the date and time the Include or border was changed, not the page
itself.]

My attempts to use Time/Date (both options) resulted in the exact same
display.
I don't understand the two types but did test it out.

I understand the javascripts is the best way and modifued my web to use this
method. The Javascripts works fine.

 

[JCO]

Yes I found out. I have already begun to use the Javascripts and it works
fine
Thanks
