Example
Listing 18-4 dynamically generates several pieces of content relating to the creation
and modification dates of the file, as well as its size. More importantly, the listing
demonstrates how to turn a value returned by the file date properties into a
genuine date object that can be used for date calculations. In the case of Listing
18-4, the calculation is the number of full days between the creation date and the
day someone views the file. Notice that the dynamically generated content is added
very simply via the innerText properties of carefully-located SPAN elements in the
body content.

var created = document.fileCreatedDate
var modified = document.fileModifiedDate
document.all.created.innerText = created

var createdDate = new Date(created).getTime()
var today = new Date().getTime()
var diff = Math.floor((today - createdDate) / (1000*60*60*24))
document.all.diff.innerText = diff
document.all.size.innerText = document.fileSize
