Using Javascript document.lastModified: good or not?

[walkman50]

My developer wants to use Javascript's document.lastModified in the page's "Last Updated" line.

Personally, I don't think the search engines will see and register the date, but he insists (maintainance will be easier).

The Last Updated is important to the SEs, and I don't want to adversly affect the page.

Can I use document.lastModified on a page?

Thanks,
Dave

Search engines do generally not execute client site scripts and applications so just make sure your page function and display as intended with JavaScript disabled

Thanks for settling the argument - we'll stick with good old HTML.
