Details

Pass this function a year that is > 2001 & watch what happens:

function validateDateField(yearText) {
	var yearValue=parseInt(yearText);
	alert ('The Year Entered Is ' +yearValue);
	var month =12;
	var day = 12;
	var theDate = new Date(yearValue, month-1, day);
	alert('The Date Is ' +theDate);
	alert('The Year From Date Is ' +theDate.getYear());
}
The value is correct as designed.  getYear() is compatible with the C date
functions and deprecated.  getFullYear() is the way to get the year thats correct.
