netscape year fix?

[reuben101]

Hey guys,

Please forgive my limited technical vocabulary! I have installed and customized a small javascript calendar and have killed all the bugs but one. The year displays properly in MSIE as 2003 but in Netscape it displays as 103.

my variables:

var year = Calendar.getYear(); // Returns year
var month = Calendar.getMonth(); // Returns month (0-11)
var today = Calendar.getDate(); // Returns day (1-31)
var weekday = Calendar.getDay(); // Returns day (1-31)

I'm missing something really obvious aren't I? :)

103 is the correct value that should be returned. It should return the number of years since 1900.

Simple solution I use is read in the year, then if it is less than 500, add 1900 to the value.

[killroy]

var year=(Calendar.getYear()%1900)+1900; // Returns year

should fix it (not solve it)

That did the trick. Thanks to both of you for the lesson. :)

There's also a new function introduced to make the browsers compatible:
getFullYear() returns the year in YYYY format.

Made me think back to some discussions on c.l.javascript all those years ago ;)
