obtaining file data through javascript

[geuis]

Is it possible, using javascript, to check on the last modified date of a file stored locally?

Yes, but it uses ActiveX.

function ShowFileInfo(filespec){
filespec = "c:\\your_file.txt";
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
s = f.DateLastAccessed;
alert(s);
}
