I was thinking of removing a load of javascript from one site mainly because IE on XP SP2 is throwing up "Warnings" about it.
If you are worried about not being able to use javascript generated dates, then PHP can do all that for you and more using the date string.
PHP Code:
<?php
echo date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A");
?>
Or you could use Server Side Includes to do it.
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
