User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

I am writing a web site, and for the (system) date display I use the following JavaScript:

var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000) year+=2000
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10) daym="0"+daym
var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")
document.write("<br />"+dayarray[day]+",<br />"+daym+" "+montharray[month]+" "+year+"")

Invariably, the date displayed contains the year 2106, while the same date is displayed as 2006 in MS IE 6.0. Any solutions to this?

With thanks and regards,

Nico van de Water.

Reproducible: Always
