In netscape 4.08 the following JavaScript occurs:
var today =3D new Date();=20
var myYear =3D today.getYear();
alert(myYear);
returns 100.
To show the current year I use:
var today =3D new Date();=20
var myYear =3D today.getYear();
myYear =3D myYear + 1900;
alert(myYear);
which returns 2000
However, in IE5:
var today =3D new Date();=20
var myYear =3D today.getYear();
alert(myYear);
returns 2000
Therefore, on my page I need to check for returned dates of less than =
2000 and add 1900 only to those. Can anyone tell me why this =
discrepancy exists?
Cheers
Andrew
