Re: JavaScript error

Ann,

Date.getFullYear() is JavaScript 1.2 so it's not supported in NN3 and below.
Here's a little work around using your code. You may want to check on
earlier versions of IE and other OS, too. HTH.

Josu�

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--
var now = new Date();
var textout;
var month = now.getMonth();
var date = now.getDate();

function getFullYear(d) {
   var y = d.getYear();
   if (y < 1000) y += 1900;
   return y;
}

var year = getFullYear(now);

if (month==0) textout="January";
if (month==1) textout="Febuary";
if (month==2) textout="March";
if (month==3) textout="April";
if (month==4) textout="May";
if (month==5) textout="June";
if (month==6) textout="July";
if (month==7) textout="August";
if (month==8) textout="September";
if (month==9) textout="October";
if (month==10) textout="November";
if (month==11) textout="December";

textout += " " + date + ", " + year;
document.write ("<font size=3><font color=teal><strong> Welcome, on " +
textout + ".</strong></font>");
// -->
</SCRIPT>
