Hi there I need to read the date of text / csv file dynamically to place it on a web page which uses databinding. It has to work in IE 4 / 5.0 / 5.5. not NS.

I can do the data binding part from the csv file OK, but I need to add the last modified date of that csv file which was used to generate the page.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this. I dont think that the databinding feature in IE4 or IE5 etc allows for this, so maybe its just a javascript thing I need to do as an extra. I guess even VBscript would do if theres a way but I prefer to keep away from that if possible.

It has to work locally too... as it needs to run on a PC not always web connected, but the file concerned is to be uploaded and overwritten overnight, hence the need to check the date.

This is also posted on HTML/CSS

Thanks in advance
mac
