133435 - javascript Date().getYear() reports wrong year

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22964

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Brian S Champlin]

The following code produces the alert that the month is 3 (correct) and the year
is 102 (incorrect).  The year should be 2002, not 102.  Javascript should
probally be y2k compliant in y2k2?

<- cut --------

d = new Date();
Month = d.getMonth()+1;
Year = d.getYear();
alert("Month: " + Month + " Year: " + Year);

<- cut --------

Marking Verified. 

The upshot is d.getYear() was deprecated in the ECMA-262 standard 
in favor of d.getFullYear()

Here are various bugs with further information on this:
