If you try it on this page you'll see that the time and date returned isn't that of the page creation date/time but rather that of when your browser requested the page. Ha Ha.. It's very interesting. I tried and it worked by typing javascript : alert( document.lastModified ) to address bar(I just put space to avoid javascript check here)
I never tried to put javascript in address bar even I've been this field more than 15 years.
"The lastModified property returns the date and time the current document was last modified." definition from w3schools.com Quote: Originally Posted by ~CReed It tells you when the page was last modified, it does not provide any history nor the creation date.

Even i tried this out and got similar results. Am I doing the right way or there's something wrong in the procedure?
