I have just completed a large website and the only problem I have is with the "Page last updated" operation. I have a update.js file plus the following on each page:-

Code: [ Select ]
  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
     //<!--
     document.write("<center> Last Update: ");
     document.writeln(DocDate(),"<\/center>");
     // -->
    </script>
  1.   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  2.      //<!--
  3.      document.write("<center> Last Update: ");
  4.      document.writeln(DocDate(),"<\/center>");
  5.      // -->
  6.     </script>


The above gives me:- Last Update: Sunday 23 August, 2009

I used this system on my old website and it worked fine. The above now however updates each day (real date) Perhaps the update.js file has been corrupted in some way (I don't know how). What I would like is something like the following:-

Page last updated Thursday 27 August 2009 09:45pm (this needs to be BST)

Can someone please advise me. I have spent some time looking through this forum site but can't find the answer.

The new website has been built using XHTML that's the main differance.

what's in your update.js file? Could you post the code?
Use your words like arrows to shoot toward your goal.
