Why has this stopped working in the new Firefox

[fedorpawel]

I want to redirect the user to the current month such as
November2006.html, but only if the month exists in pubMon array. This
code works correctely in IE but stopped working in the new Firefox. In
Firefox it always redirects to the default Annoucments.html. What am I
missing?
Thanks for any help.

/////Returns true if the val is an element of the array a

function find(a, val){
var b = false;
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++){
if(a[i]==val) { b = true;}
}
return b;
};

/////This function does the redirecting.

function CurrMonth() {
today = new Date();
m = new
Array("January","February","March","April","May"," June","July","August","September","October","Novem ber","December");

pubMon = new Array("8", "9", "10", "11", "12");
pubYear = new Array("2006");

ValidMonth = find(pubMon, today.getMonth() + 1);
ValidYear = find(pubYear, today.getYear());

if (ValidMonth && ValidYear) { window.location = m[today.getMonth()] +
today.getYear() + ".html"; }
else { window.location = 'Announcements.html'; }
}

pubYear = new Array("2006");

ValidMonth = find(pubMon, today.getMonth() + 1);
ValidYear = find(pubYear, today.getYear());

That shouldn't have worked in the old Firefox either,
because today.getYear() will return "106".
If you want "2006", you should be using today.getFullYear()

<snip>

ValidYear = find(pubYear, today.getYear());

getYear() 106 for 2006 in FF2.0.

Change your code to use getFullYear() instead and it works properly.
