I have a small script on a website that that changes the greeting
according to the time of day and displays the current day and date. This
works fine in Internet Explorer, but when viewed in Opera, 2005 displays
as 105.
Any help with this gratefully recieved.
TIA

Don't use getYear(), use getFullYear().
getFullYear() is not supported by very old browsers, you may need to
account for them or at least fail gracefully.
getYear is defined as the current year minus 1900. Why such a value was
thought more useful than the real year is a mystery, but eventually
reason prevailed (no doubt assisted by Y2K issues) and getFullYear was
introduced.
However, some browser developers decided to make getYear report as if it
were getFullYear anyway, making confusion worse rather than better.

Mike,
My apologies, I must have missed that. When I downloaded the messages
for the first time for this group I only got the last 24 hours.
Many thanks

The neswgroup FAQ, contrary to your belief, is maintained. If it were

I won't ask how you consider that anything other than an intelligent
question unless you are paranoid. It was, in fact, an intellligent
question with a very good reason for being stated the way it was.
