<script type="text/javascript">
var date = new Date();

//year
var year = date.getYear();
if (year.length == 4) {
var year1=year.charAt(2);
var year2=year.charAt(3);
}
else {
var year1="err";
var year2="or";
}
var theyear=year1+year2;
document.write(theyear);
</script>

This code is returning error however, when i replace:

var year = date.getYear();
with:

var year = "2008";
it returns "08"

when i do
document.write(year.length) I get an error as well.

What did I do wrong?
