Wow, they've actually listened and implemented my suggested fix :) That was quick!

var year=today_date.getFullYear()

And IE probably treats getYear() and getFullYear() the same, confusing the devs who only tested in IE, right?

———————————-

var today_date= new Date()

var month=today_date.getMonth()

var today=today_date.getDate()

var year=today_date.getYear()

var months = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July",

"August","September","October","November","December");

SCRIPT language=Javascript document.write(months[month]+" "+today+", "+year);

————————————

getYear() returns the current year – 1900, so the result you get is

exactly what the spec says you should get. If you want 2007 rather than

107 people have to use getFullYear():

I left them a comment about this issue. Now let's see how fast they are to resolve it.

That means they're coding some kind of IE-specific Javascript. Javascript is why it is blank for Lynx but shows on the others. If IEs are all that have shown "2007" out of Gecko (Firefox), Opera, KHTML (Konqueror, Safari), it has to be that they're coding to a browser instead of coding to standards which is *bad*practice*

Yep…only in firefox…I tried it on IE6 and IE7, and 2007 is displayed using a PC with Windows Vista…Opera, Safari and Chimera 0.6 display 107 in my OS X mac book…weird…
