JavaScript getYear() Method
The getYear() method should not be used. Use the getFullYear() method instead!
 JavaScript Date Object
Definition and Usage
The getYear() method returns the year, as a two-digit OR a three/four-digit number.
The value returned by getYear() is not always four digits. For years between 1900 and 1999 the getYear() method returns only two digits.
For other years (before 1900 and after 1999) the return is browsers dependant:
Internet Explorer:
- Returns four digits for years before 1900 and after 1999.
Firefox:
- Returns a value less than 0 for years before 1900. For example, the year 1800 returns -100.
- Returns a value 100 or greater for years greater than or equal to 2000. For example, the year 2008 returns 108.
