Yeah sorry I forgot to include the close() in the quote but its there.
In fact I moved it up a bit and still no luck heres the new code:

jsfile = open("../timeline.js", "r+")
jscontent = jsfile.readlines()
jsfile.truncate()

for line in jscontent:
	if re.search('var d =', line):
		line = "var d = \""+mint['1'].ascdate()+"\"\n"
		print line
	jsfile.write(line)
jsfile.close()

I tried this can got the same result...??
