One way to do that is with Frontpage. I don't know if there is just a standard tag for for, but this is how Frontpage does it:

<!--webbot bot="Timestamp" startspan s-type="REGENERATED"
s-format="%m/%d/%y" -->10/24/99<!--webbot bot="Timestamp"
i-checksum="14013" endspan -->

I don't know if that will work independent of Frontpage though.

some time ago, I saw a code I could put on my page, so that instead of everytime I update my page I would have to change the update date manually, it would be done with that code...
can anybody help me?

Here is some code that I used a long time ago. You may need to play around with it a little.

function dateAddon(day) {
if (day == 1 ¦¦ day == 21 ¦¦ day == 31) {
return 'st';
}
else if (day == 2 ¦¦ day == 22) {
return 'nd';
}
else {
return 'th';
}
}

var documentDetails = new Date(document.lastModified);
var dayList = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var monthList = new Array('January','February','March',
'April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
document.write(dayList[documentDetails.getDay()] + " " + documentDetails.getDate() +
dateAddon(documentDetails.getDate()) + " " + monthList[documentDetails.getMonth()] +
", 19" + "" + documentDetails.getYear());
