In javascript, you can get the date of the client, using the Date object. A
method of this object is getYear(). Under mozilla-1.7.8, in 2005, for example,
it returns '105' value.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Using this HTML code.
-----------------------------

<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
	function showDate() {
		var curdate=new Date();
		alert(curdate.getYear());
	}

//-->
</script>
<input type=button value='click me' onClick='showDate();'>

</body>
Actual Results:  
Clicking on button, it appears '105' value.

Expected Results:  
The correct value (2005).

The javascript console is blank (ie it doesn't launch any error or exception).
You should use getFullYear() for the expected result.
