Thanks again joshie76.

Updates are done twice weekly, and although I have a script in place that presents the visitor with an "Updates since you were last here" page, you have to edit the "last updated" date for each section manually. This is what I'm trying to avoid having to do every time I add a new piece of news or an article etc. Automation via JS would be the ideal solution, but I'm not having any success still when trying to reference to lastModified properties of other files.

The client-side processing is obvious too, now that I actually stop for a moment and think about it. :) Downloading all the pages at once, hidden or otherwise, wouldn't be great for visitor satisfaction, so I may have to either stick with the manual updates or bin the idea altogether.

I'm not great at ASP (yet ;)) but as I learn more I might migrate to another host which would support this functionality.

Back to the drawing board then, unless anyone else has any suggestions?
