Hi,<br />
<br />
I am working on a web page that displays a date that is read in from a text file.<br />
<br />
Found this simple piece of jQuery code which is working in Safari only:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;script language=javascript type='text/javascript'&gt;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; //process date file<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; jQuery.get('date.txt', function(data) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $('#refreshdate').html(dat<wbr />a);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; });<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/script&gt;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;a id=&quot;refreshdatelabel&quot; title=&quot;RefreshDateLabel&quot; &gt;Reports last refresh date: &lt;/a&gt; <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;a id=&quot;refreshdate&quot; title=&quot;RefreshedDate&quot; &gt;Sept 15, 2011&lt;/a&gt;<br />
<br />
Safari displays the file's Sept 19, 2011 date.<br />
<br />
IE &amp;&nbsp;Chrome both display the defaulted anchor date (Sept 15, 2011) &amp;&nbsp;Firefox doesn't display anything at all for refreshdate (does display refreshdatelabel).<br />
<br />
Suggestions are welcomed!<br />

Hi,

I am working on a web page that displays a date that is read in from a text file.

Found this simple piece of jQuery code which is working in Safari only:

	<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>
          //process date file
          jQuery.get('date.txt', function(data) {
          $('#refreshdate').html(data);
          });
        </script>

	  <a id="refreshdatelabel" title="RefreshDateLabel" >Reports last refresh date: </a> 
	  <a id="refreshdate" title="RefreshedDate" >Sept 15, 2011</a>

Safari displays the file's Sept 19, 2011 date.

IE & Chrome both display the defaulted anchor date (Sept 15, 2011) & Firefox doesn't display anything at all for refreshdate (does display refreshdatelabel).
