document.lastmodified always gives current date

@seangohAug 03.2004

Hi, i’m using document.lastmodified but each time i refresh the page, it doesn’t give me the last modified date..what it gives me is the current date and i don’t know what’s wrong..anyone can help? i couldn’t find any place that talks about this problem.

Any help on understanding what’s wrong is appreciated..

@AdamGundryAug 03.2004 — #Check you are capitalising it correctly (document.lastModified) - JS is case sensitive. Alternately, could you show us the code you are using or a link to the page. It may be a problem with the server you are using.

============================

 function initArray()
   {
   this.length = initArray.arguments.length
   for (var i=0;i<this.length;i++)
   this[i+1] = initArray.arguments[i]
   } 
   // end initArray.
   var DOWArray = new initArray("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
   var MOYArray = new initArray("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August","September", "October", "November", "December");
   var LastModDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
 
 
   document.write (DOWArray[(LastModDate.getDay()+1)],", ");
   document.write (MOYArray[(LastModDate.getMonth()+1)]," ");
   document.write (LastModDate.getDate(),", ",(LastModDate.getFullYear()));

==================================

I think it's the server because when i tried different servers, some work while some didn't. what do u think i should do?

@AdamGundryAug 04.2004 — #The code looks fine, so I think you are right - it's more likely to be the server. Are you using dynamic pages (created using PHP, for example)? In that case, the server may set the last modified date to the current date. Alternately, you could contact the server administrator and ask them to fix it.
