Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22964

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Manoj Kurmi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The url I have provided contains the code to display today's date. The output
displayed is not correct. The correct is 11-10-2004 but instead it displays
11-10-104.
So correct output should be:
JavaScript says today's date is 11-10-2004

But instead Firefox displays it as 
JavaScript says today's date is 11-10-104


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the http://www.ucsolutions.com/js/ls2.htm

2. See the displayed line: JavaScript says today's date is 11-10-104
Actual Results:  
Incorrect date year is displayed i.e.
11-10-104

Expected Results:  
The correct output should have been
11-10-2004

Do not use product=Rhino to file bugs about Firefox etc as Rhino has NOTHING to
do with Mozilla/Firefox!

Date.prototype.getYear() is a deprecated function in ECMAScript 262 and the
standard requires for it to return the current year - 1900 and confirming
scripts should use Date.prototype.getFullYear() instead.

Please inform the site writer to use Date.prototype.getFullYear().
