Working with dates

Working with dates

I think the next thing is quite nice as well. We're going to implement a date function into our script. So if you creat a HTML- page you can make the client print the last change of the document. You do not have to write the date to the document though. You simply write a small script program. When you make some changes in the future, the date changes automatically.

This is a simple HTML- page.

At the moment this property seems not to function on every machine. Some servers show only the date 1/1/1970. There seem to be some problems with this function. We have to wait for the next update and hope that it works then properly on every machine. But you have to test this on your own machine - on some it seems to work fine.

As I already said things are moving really fast today. So it would not be amazing if next week there was a major change to JavaScript! So you always have to watch out for further changes as this language is quite young. Please understand that some things told here might change as well. But I think that the basic principles are going to stay the same.
