24786 - Y2K bug in the JAVASCRIPT Module

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

Description

[Brian Z]

Please forgive me if I'm entering this JAVASCRIPT bug in the wrong area.  I'm
not sure which module to put it in.  I tested this bug in the 2000011314 build.

Last year, this string:

var fyear = dateObj.getYear()
document.write(fyear)

returned 99.  This year, this string returns 100.  Shouldn't it return 00?  Just 
in testing, I tested the code in Internet Explorer 5 (which I hate dearly) and 
the string returned
2000 instead of just the last two digits.  Could you please correct whatever is 
necessary?  Thanks!

Use getFullYear(). getYear is nonstandard; Netscape's and IE's implementations 
differ.
