Details

Maybe Mozilla is the one that's right, but: my2002date = new date(... a 2002 date...) MS IE my2002date.getYear() returns 2002 Moz 1.0 my2002date.getYear() returns 102 (!) A work around was easy, but still there'a discrepancy somewhere. Maybe this is the same as bug 2183 - sorry if it's the case.
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/core/jsref15/date.html#1193607 explains this. http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/core/jsref15/date.html#1194138 explains how Date.getYear is, by design, year - 1900. Also note that the second link mentions that getYear is deprecated as of JS1.3.
This is the correct behavior. You want getFullYear(). See bug 45764, comment #4 for the full skinny on getYear() *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100123 ***
