Could this be done in JAVA?

[Barabbas]

I have an event creator written in ASP which saves the current event as a HTML file...

What needs to be done is to check the current events file to see if its older than 3 hours, if its is then it'll show no events or no_events.html, else show the current event etc.

Why would you want to do it in JS when it can be easily accomplished server side in ASP, that you are using

You know when you get to that stage when you just can't get your head around a peice of code and start pulling your hair out to look for alternatives...

Well i've sorted it now, thanks for the reply, after the 60th view!!!!!!! lol

Heres what i came up with:

<%

Dim MyFileObject, MyFile, MyFileTrue, TimeOut, RealTime
Set MyFileObject=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set MyFile=MyFileObject.GetFile(Server.MapPath("current_event.htm"))

RealTime = hour(now)
TimeOut = hour(MyFile.DateLastModified) + 3 ' Put timeout at 3 ours ahead of the creation date

If RealTime < TimeOut AND day(now) = day(MyFile.DateLastModified)Then
%>
<!--#include file="current_event.htm"-->
<%
Else
%>
<!--#include file="none.htm"-->
<%
end if
Set MyFileObject = nothing
Set MyFile = nothing
set RealTime = nothing
set TimeOut = nothing

%>
