    Hi,

    I am looking to display the date and time underneath new text I add on a website.
    For example Fri, 25/11/2011 - 22:15 underneath Heading 1 that I add. If I update the website by adding new text to Heading 1 an hour later I want it to display Fri, 25/11/2011 - 23:15.
    I am looking to apply this for other headings on the same page.

    Does anyone know how I can do this? I can pm the website link if need be and am doing this for a favour. If anyone can help please would appreciate it.

    Hi, thanks for the replies. I'm using dw cs5. After trawling the website I think I have the answer. This seems to do what I need to display...

    <h4>Posted
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year)
    //-->
    </script>
    </h4>

    If I make an update to any part of the website though I think the date and time will also update which will display the wrong update date...I haven't tested this yet but assume will be the case.

    That will display the current time for anybody visiting the page, it has nothing to do with when it was updated. You have to do this on the server-side, not the client-side. TBH, the easiest way to do it is manually. Any other solution is going to be a lot of work
