User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

This is my personal webpage, all the coding should be easy for you guys to
trace, I hand-coded the javascript...I display the date on the page listed
above, on IE it displays fine.  On Mozilla, the year comes out at 103 instead of
2003.  Hope that helps.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load up the webpage
2.the date is located in the top right corner of the site.

Actual Results:  
the date is displayed wrong, where in IE it diesplays correctly.

Expected Results:  
load up the site in IE to see, but it should display a standard date  "Month
Day, Year".  Hopefully this is just a problem with my site and not all
javascript sites.

Sorry, have to mark this one invalid. Actually a duplicate.
This issue comes up often, but getYear() has been deprecated,
and getFullYear() should be used instead. See:

bug 22964
bug 45764 (on how we came to differ with IE on this)
bug 100123

Also see comments in bug 58241, bug 65681, bug 82354

Marking Verified.

If you replace getYear() with getFullYear(), your site will work
fine in all browsers. That is how the spec for the JavaScript 
language evolved -
