I need to ask a question about web pages but I don't know which
newsgroup to ask. Any suggestions please. I looked for alt.comp.internet but I don't see anything like that on AIOE. Thanks -- Ed Mc Nam Vet '66-'67 Semper Fi

Thanks "Web pages" is a bit vague. Do you mean creating them? HTML question or Javascript, or something else? Are you wondering why your browser won't show one? Try to narrow it down for us a bit. -- Tim Slattery

I would like to know how current the information I am reading on any "how to" type web page is. If I'm seeking an answer to a question say: 'what is the procedure for boarding an international flight'? How do I know the page wasn't made in 2004? Is there a way to gleen the date the page was posted? Thanks for replies. -- Ed Mc Nam Vet '66-'67 Semper Fi

That will give you some info, I don't think that it's entirely reliable. The short answer is you really don't know when it was posted. -- Tim Slattery

Use www.archive.org, enter the URL of the page in question. View the captures, and move the date back in time, until the page content changes. The earliest page, consistent with what you're seeing, is a rough approximation of when the page was written. Archive.org is sometimes used in court cases, for proving when something was stolen or copied. It doesn't copy everything (it's only a 5500 TB server after all), but it's a place to start. Paul
