Fw: Javascript: validation and time/date format

Great stuff, thanks for your help everybody!

I've now got the following script which validates OK and seems to display
the date as I want it.  I guess getMonth() returns 0 for January hence
adding 1 to get the true month.  The real test will be to see if it works
say tomorrow or next month or on some one else's computer!

  mdate = new Date (document.lastModified);
  year = mdate.getYear();
  month = mdate.getMonth() + 1;
  date = mdate.getDate();
  document.write("<I>" + "Last updated: " + date + "/" + month + "/" + year
+ "<\/I>");

Thanks again, Nick
