User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

The following JavaScript code 

        Todays = new Date();
        TheYear = Todays.getYear();

contains 102 as the year, and not 2002 as it should be.

And i thought, Y2K bugs were fixed over 2 years ago.

Reproducible: Always

2.
3.

Actual Results:  Year is reported as 102

Expected Results:  Year shoul dbe reported as 2002

getYear() was deprecated. Use getFullYear() instead of getYear().
