javascript:alert(document.lastModified)

[Bob24V]

On < http://www.worldstart.com/tips/internet-tips/update.htm > after clicking on [Properties] I read:

"3. Finally, put the line below in place of the current URL:

javascript:alert(document.lastModified)

and:

"You'll probably get an error message when you change it. Just hit "Yes" if this pops up."

Instead of a [Yes] button, there is only an [OK] and a [Cancel] button. Hitting [OK] only again informs one that a colon ( is not permitted in an URL whereas the [Cancel] closes the window without any change.

What to do to get "javascript:alert(document.lastModified)" to work?

It worked for me.
Are you using Internet Explorer?
The error message that they're talking about when you click on "YES" to ignore is shown in my 2nd attachment.
