Help, Updated Time shown as 1969?! - My script doesn't work on Netscape.
Please help.
I just found that on Netscape the updated time shown on my page at http://lawstudent.8m.com was 12/31/69 while it should have been 7/23/99. On my other page at http://cyberlaw.8m.com it was shown updated on 7/10/99 while it should have been 7/23/99 too!
On IE both pages work fine.
The script I used was:
<script Language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from old browsers
var modDate = new Date(document.lastModified)
document.write("Updated: " + (modDate.getMonth()+1) + "/" +
modDate.getDate() + "/" + modDate.getYear())
//-->
</script>
Please help. It's quite an embarrassing error.
Thanks.
M.

??? I have used Netscape 4.6 to check them and didn't get any errors, except for the "last updated" time.

Out of curiosity, where is the site hosted? I think I tried that before on a free host and it did the same sort of thing.
Try testing it on your computer to see if you get the right date in there. You may have to modify the document first.
If it is right on your computer it may be something to do with the ways files are saved at the hosting company, but then again it may not be the host at all...it could just be something I'm missing here.

What you have to do, is just change the subject of your site...
If you make a site on... let's say... timetraveling, you don't have to worry about that anymore...
Always on the rescue,

Try this :
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write("Updated : ");
document.write(document.lastModified);
// -->
</SCRIPT>
..instead of having a variable.
