From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 BuildID: 2001091303 Code below document.write(WhichDay[today.getDay()]+","+WhichMonth[today.getMonth()]+""+today.getDate()+", "+today.getYear()); yields Monday, September 17, 101 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: load page Actual Results: Year is "101" Expected Results: Year is "2001"
This is expected behavior for backward compatibility with Netscape 4.x. You should use today.getFullYear() instead. getFullYear returns the 4-digit year as desired. Marking invalid.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED

Resolution: --- → INVALID
See bug 45764 and bug 22964 for more details about the results from getYear in 4.x and mozilla. (Summary: getYear is depreciated in ECMA-262 and only getFullYear is necessary for compliance. Since getYear was returning 101 for 2001 as of 4.06, they decided to keep this behavior.)
Marking Verified - Thank you for this report. Please continue to use Bugzilla; we depend on contributors like you to catch the things we miss -
