Re: Date is wrong in javascript

Try this one, with some work I think the Y2K patch could be made to work
with your script

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var months=new Array(13);
months[1]="Jan";
months[2]="Feb";
months[3]="Mar";
months[4]="Apr";
months[5]="May";
months[6]="Jun";
months[7]="Jul";
months[8]="Aug";
months[9]="Sep";
months[10]="Oct";
months[11]="Nov";
months[12]="Dec";
var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();

// Y2K Fix by Isaac Powell
// http://onyx.idbsu.edu/~ipowell

if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (year < 2000))
year="19" + year;
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
year=1900 + year;
document.write(" " + lmonth + " ");
document.write(date + "<br>" + year + " ");
// End
// -->
</script>
