Description getYear( ) returns the year field of a specified Date object minus 1900. As of ECMAScript v3, it is not required in conforming JavaScript implementations; use getFullYear( ) instead.
Bugs Netscape implementations of JavaScript 1.0 through 1.2 subtract 1900 only for years between 1900 and 1999.
