Description

Returns the year value in the Date object using local time.

Syntax

objDate.getFullYear()

Remarks

To get the year using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCFullYear method.

The getFullYear method returns the year as an absolute number. For example, the year 1976 is returned as 1976. This avoids problems with dates occuring at the end of the 20th century.

The following example illustrates the use of the GetFullYear method:

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