Which CSS to add?

[Boy]

I would like to use a placeholder for a message saying "Last update on [Date]". I found some code on the internet but I would like to adjust the font, size and color. I was only able to adjust the color. The font continues to be Arial and the size retains its default size. Any ideas what's wrong in the code?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function Initialize()
{ this.length = Initialize.arguments.length
for ( var i = 0; i < this.length; i++ ) this[ i + 1 ] =
Initialize.arguments[ i ]
}

var DayOfWeek = new Initialize("Last update", "Last update", "Last update", "Last update", "Last update", "Last update", "Last update" );
var MonthName = new Initialize("Jan.", "Feb.", "Mar.", "April",
"May", "June", "July", "Aug.", "Sep.", "Oct.", "Nov.",
"Dec.");
var LastModifiedDate = new Date(document.lastModified);

document.write(DayOfWeek[(LastModifiedDate.getDay() + 1 )] ,": ");
document.write( LastModifiedDate.getDate() ," "  );
year=LastModifiedDate.getYear();
if (year<100) year+=100;
if (year<1000) year+=1900;document.write(MonthName[(LastModifiedDate.getMonth() + 1)] ," ",( year ) );
</SCRIPT>

<div style="font:open-sans;font-size:18px;color:004c7e">
<!-- SCRIPT OUTPUT -->
</div>

The 3rd from the last line is:

<div style="font:open-sans;font-size:18px;color:004c7e">

Which should be able to be changed. Depending upon when it gets loaded, you may need to add !important at the end (before the close angle bracket, and make sure to add the semi-colon before it...).

Thanks Mike, but could you spell that out for me? I don't seem to get it to work....

Try playing with something like this:

<div id="updated" style="font: open-sans; font-size:18px; color:004c7e">&nbsp;</div><script>
var updateDate = new Date(document.lastModified);
document.getElementById("updated").innerHTML = updateDate;
//alert(updateDate);
</script>

Thanks Acorn. Still stumped though and don't get it to work. Should I place this at the end?

As it returns something inside a DIV tag, it needs to be in an object's placeholder body code.
