Right, you'd have to use the file system object in ASP or something like that..

Thank you for trusting me.<br />
Here is a workaround which works only if the file is below the web servers root directory and your server support the lastModified attribute and the browser can access that document attribute:<br />
<br />
&lt;html&gt;<br />
&lt;body&gt;<br />
&lt;iframe name=&quot;theFile&quot; src=&quot;whatever/file.txt&quot; width=0 height=0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;<br />
&lt;b&gt;File: &lt;/b&gt;whatever/file.txt&lt;br&gt;<br />
&lt;b&gt;Date Modified: &lt;/b&gt;<br />
&lt;script&gt;<br />
document.write(window.fram<wbr />es.theFile<wbr />.document.<wbr />lastModifi<wbr />ed)<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;<br />
<br />
Good luck,<br />

There exists a file C:\whatever\file.txt<br />

How would I obtain the last modified time and date for this file using JavaScript?

Display a file's last modified date on your webpage.

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
