tgreer: you do often suggest a server-side solution... which is funny because this is a client side forum. However, I agree.. if redsabre wanted a production sensible solution, this would be done server side using a database holding important peoples data. But I don't think redsabre wants a sensible solution here... i think the redsabre just wants someone to write a javascript that can be posted onto redsabre's website.
redsabre: using the javascript that you have supplied a link to, you should be able to work out how old someone is. It is easy to work out how many days old someone is from the code... it isn't such a big step to work out everything else.... and i've ended up doing it.. so here it is, based on the link you gave me.
