Hi there alleria21,
try it like this...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>The American Eggplant Society</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init(){
document.getElementById('last-modified').firstChild.nodeValue=document.lastModified;
}
window.addEventListener?
window.addEventListener('load',init,false):
window.attachEvent('onload',init);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The American Eggplant Society</h1>

Welcome to our site. Unfortunately, it is still
under construction.

We last worked on it on this date:
<span id="last-modified"> </span>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Thanks birdbrain! works like a charm :P
cant imagine what went wrong with previous code though :/ and the one i posted earlier with the CSS im thinking it might be an issue with windows version or bit system maybe :P

document.write does not work with XHTML. The bigger question you might want to ask yourself is should I be using XHTML? For 99% of developers, the answer is no. See this old thread:

hmm it seems that xhtml has compatibility problems ...
Well then is it ok if i stick to HTML 4.01 Strict cuz im a little afraid of what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so .but if todays developers use HTML 4.01 (at least till HTML 5 takes on) then it is ok :P

i would suggest using the HTML5 DTD and HTML 4.01 compatible markup.

Yeah, use an HTML 5 DOCTYPE, even if you don't use any of the new HTML 5 features. HTML 5 is a superset of HTML 4.01, so any valid HTML 4.01 document can use an HTML 5 doctype. Also, the HTML 5 DOCTYPE is so much easier to remember. :)
<!DOCTYPE html>

Also, avoid using document.write, as it's generally considered bad practice to use it. Instead, use DOM methods to modify values and/or insert new content. birdbrain's example above uses the nodeValue to change the value of an existing node. Other options could include creating a new node and using appendChild or replaceChild to add it to the document.
