Javascript document.lastModified is returning current date and time

Question

I\'m using the standard document.lastModified Javascript property to output the supposed last modified date of the page, but it\'s outputting the actual curren

Answer 1

Tested lastModified on a local file on my hard drive. Chrome returns current time/date and not when file was saved. Internet Explorer and Firefox return time/date file was saved. So this is a Chrome bug. Get page to check if Chrome from the userAgent and warn user or disable code.

Blockquote

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome/")>0){ alert("Chrome bug.\nPlease use a different browser.\nOne that works."); }

Other problems with lastModified. It returns a string and not a date object. So can't use date.getFullYear() The string is in the USA format and not the standard format of d/mm/yyyy
