Details

When using dateobject.getYear() for dates beyond year 2000 I got the result as year-1900 instead of the full 4-digit year, what I should get according to the Javascript reference guide.
This is not a bug. getYear() is deprecated and kept as-is to preserve backwards compatbility. Use getFullYear(). see comments in bug 22964, bug 45764, bug 58241, bug 65681, bug 82354 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100123 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100123 ***

As a note, getYear() is no longer in the JavaScript standard...
Marking Verified - Reinaldo, thank you for this report. The solution is to use .getFullYear() instead of getYear(). For a history on how the ECMA standard changed on this subject, and how Netscape and Microsoft came to differ on the behavior of .getYear(), see bug 45764.
