Last Modified & Copyright

Displays the date a page was last modified.  There is also a copyright function that updates the copyright date to the year the page was last saved.

The HTML text and the text from JavaScript set the font separately because that seams to work with all browsers and all editors.

Netscape originally implemented getYear() to return the number of years since 1900.   (Many books describe getYear() this way.)  When a standard was created, it was to return the actual year.   Internet Explorer 5, Netscape 6 and Mozilla return the actual year.  Netscape 4 returns the number of years since 1900.
