when you try to get the date in java script you have to add 1900 to the year

2. open it in FIREFOX 1.0
Actual Results:  
the year was displayed as being 105

Expected Results:  
 The expected result was for the year to be displayed as  2005

Yes I checked the date on my computer and its said it was  2005 {Win Xp is the 
OS I'm using}
That's actually the correcct behaviour. You probably want to use getFullYear(),
which gives the same result in Mozilla and Internet Exploder.
