I don't know if this would suit you but, you could do this on the
server with a little PHP at the top of your page...
<?php
// e.g. New pages are less than a week old
// set a class on body tag for new pages
$bodyClass = 'new';
// check if page is new
if ( (filemtime(__FILE__) + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60) < time() ) {
// file was modified more than one week ago, so...
// do something, e.g. remove class attribute from body tag
$bodyClass = '';
//or log an error so we know the file needs updating
trigger_error(__FILE__ .' is stale and needs updating');
}
?>
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body class="<?php echo $bodyClass; ?>">
...
</body>
Obviously there are a million variations on a theme here...
HTH.

Carlton
