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().

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.
