Sometimes that is best.

If you put javascript:alert(document.lastModified) on a page or even on a old page it will return todays date. Because you are modifing by putting that in there???

With JavaScript, which is client-side in this case, you can't detect something server-side without having the server send that information. It will only show the last modified date if it was sent as a Last-Modified header by the server. If the header isn't sent, it wil show the current client's date and time.

Very old topic by the way.
