Hello,

I have made a first version of the frontpage of my new homepage. I use
the small javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
var modDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
var day = modDate.getDate();
var month = modDate.getMonth()+1;
var year = modDate.getYear();
var s = "Deze pagina werd laatst aangepast op ";
s += ((day < 10)?"0"+day:day) + "/";
s += ((month < 10)?"0"+month:month) + "/";
s += year;
s += ".";
document.writeln(s);
</script>

to print the date on which the page was last modified. When I look at
the page when it resides on my hard disk, then the date is correct:
19/08/2003. But when I put that same page online at the webspace
assigned to me by my internet provider, then the date turns into
19/08/2036. So the year is completely wrong!

I use Internet Explorer 6.0. The url of the online page is
http://home.scarlet.be/~vv991306/temp_homepage/

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Or is the date on the server set
wrong and is that what's causing my problem?

Thanks,
Veerle

Your server date is set to 2036 - simple as that. Knowing it, you can just
subtract 33 from your getYear

Hope that helps
