I tried that but he was resistant. He seems to think that showing the 
current date somehow makes the page LOOK more up-to-date/relevant. I've 
tried to persuade him that the appropriate action would be displayed the 
last-updated date, not the current date, but he's not persuaded yet. 
Customers....

Luckily - and unexpectedly - I have persuaded him that pushing the date 
to the extreme right is not so important after all so the original issue 
has disappeared ;-)

Good point. I'll replace the Javascript with a Server Side Include of 
DATE_LOCAL.
