Why do I get a blank page when downloading?

Use javascript to get the file uploaded on a web page last modify date?

  • I have made a web page for downloading some files. I wanna show the last modified/updated date for those files shown in my page, which are stored in my server, i.e. users get the files from my server via the web page. By using javascript, how to get these dates and show it on my web page?

  • Answer:

    The information is also available from Server programming in Perl or SSI commands <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED"--> or <!--#flastmod file="main.shtml"--> See link for more details.

The answer that Andoryu.net gave you will only display the last modified date of the html file that the code is embedded in. As far as I know, getting file information from the server (in effect what you want to do) is not something that JavaScript can do. For that I would use PHP. Rawlyn.
