I actually wanted to stear clear of ASP because the server I'm using doesn't have it activiated. I know a great deal about ASP and could do it with that, but little about Javascript. I really wanted to be able to do it using Javascript. Does anyone know how?
Looks like I may be stuck gettig ASP installed!
Rumour has it that PHP is a tad simpler to use and a bit easier to learn too.
You could have your main page running a script which runs through an array of the files whose last modified dates you want. That loop would
1. load the file in the iframe/popup/hidden frame
2. get the last modified date of the document in the iframe/popup/frame
3. repeat until the end of the array
