Syntax

void = rb.page.modified(time)

Parameters

The 'modified' method takes 1 parameter:

Results

The 'modified' method returns no useful information.

Remarks

By default the Presentation Page sends a Last-Modified HTTP header to client applications specifying the modification date/time of the page being sent as 'now' - that is it is dynamic and just generated. This value should be correct for all occassions.

This method allows the page to specify a different time. The parameter is either missing - in which case the Presentation Engine uses the last modification time-stamp for the source page - or it is taken to be a date object - in which case it is used to specify some other modification date.
