title: Last modified date of local file. JavaScript
body: <p>In javaScript, currently reading xml files stored in <code>%appdata%</code> using jQuerys <code>$.ajax</code> function. As the file is in <code>%appdata%</code> my javaScript has access to read and write the file.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
  * Read a foo.
  */
  function readFoo() {
      var xmlFile = "../foo/bar.xml";
  
          $.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
          $.ajax({
              type: "GET",
              async: true,
              timeout: 5000,
              url : xmlFile,
              dataType : "xml",
              success: parseFoo,
              error: reportFooFail
          });
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible using jQuery or plain javaScript to get the files 'last modified' date? </p>
