DateTrack is a simple utility that keeps track of the date a file or web page was last updated and displays the result as a text string, saving you the trouble of remembering to enter it yourself in plain HTML each time your edit your page. Along with the modification date, you can add any other text you wish to the display.

It does a little more than that of course: you can track the modification time and date of any file (ideal for creating an HTML list of your favorite sites), display the full absolute path to the referenced file or its filename only, and include your own text. The text parameters are easy to set up: just type your own text and insert a simple text code wherever you want the URL or modification date to appear in that text.

Because you might like to use DateTrack to track pages on sites other than your own, DateTrack can also act as a link: in Reactive mode, just click it to download the referenced page or file. This also lets you create an 'all-in-one menu' of DateTrack links pointing to every page on your own site and providing the last modification date for each. Also in Reactive mode, an optional second text-string can replace the first when the mouse moves over the text, with the same options to display URL and/or modification date.

NEW IN v2.0!  DateTrack can now also determine and intelligently display the size of the linked file. DateTrack also supports the Cool Focus Satellite system. (If that link doesn't lead anywhere, you can find out more by downloading the Satellite package from the Applet Downloads area at Cool Focus.) An added UseHandCursor parameter allows compatible browsers to display a hand cursor when the mouse moves over a menu entry.
