year.length problem

**magik** · 12-23-2008, 12:05 PM

Code:

<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:

Code:

var year = date.getYear();

with:

Code:

var year = "2008";

it returns "08"

when i do

Code:

document.write(year.length)

I get an error as well.

What did I do wrong?
