Getting value of "lastModified" function from remote file

[sharapov]

Is it possible to get value of the "document.lastModified" function from a file located in the same directory that the original? In other words let's say I have 3 files: index.htm, one.htm, two.htm. all in the same directory on the server. When I open my index.htm file is it possible to show when files one.htm and two.htm were modified last time?

sure...load them in a hidden iframe and read document.lastModified

<iframe style=&quot;display:none;&quot; src=&quot;one.htm&quot; id=&quot;oIFrame&quot;></iframe>
<span id=&quot;oSpan&quot;></span>

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function getLastModified() {
try {
var oIFrame = document.getElementById(&quot;oIFrame&quot;
var oSpan = document.getElementById(&quot;oSpan&quot;
oSpan.innerHTML = oIFrame.src + &quot; last modified &quot; +
oIFrame.document.lastModified;
} catch(E) {setTimeout(&quot;getLastModified();&quot;,50);}
}
getLastModified();
</script>

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }
