Microsoft® JScript™ getYear Method | Language Reference Version 1

See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Retrieves the year stored in the specified Date object.

##### Syntax

> objDate.getYear( )

##### Remarks

> This method is obsolete, and is provided for backwards compatibility only. Use the getFullYear method instead.

> For the current century, the year is a 2-digit integer value returned as the difference between the stored year and 1900. For dates other than the current century, the 4-digit year is returned. For example, 1996 is returned as 96, but 1825 and 2025 are returned as-is.

> The following example illustrates the use of the getYear method:

> >     function DateDemo()
> >     {
> >       var d, s = "Today's date is: ";
> >       d = new Date();
> >       s += (d.getMonth() + 1) + "/";
> >       s += d.getDate() + "/";
> >       s += d.getYear();
> >       return(s);
> >     }
