/*  Different implementations of getYear() and getFullYear() in different versions of javascript 
 *  1.  Netscape previous to 4.0(JavaScript 1.2 and earlier versions):  Use getYear(). 
 *      The getYear() method returns either a 2-digit or a 
 *      4-digit year.  For years 1900-1999 returns 2 digit year. Example: 1999 returns 99. 
 *      For years 2000 or greater returns 4 digit year.  Example: 2000 returns 2000. 
 *  2.  Netscape 4.0 and after(javaScript 1.3 and after):  Use getFullYear() 
 *       returns 4 digit year.  Example: 2026 returns 2026. 
 *  3.  Microsoft Internet Explorer previous to 4.0: Use getYear(). 
 *      In JScript 1.0, which is installed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, the getYear() 
 *      method returns the current year minus 1900. So, the year 1999 returns 99 and the year 
 *      2000 returns 100. 
 *  4.  Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and after(JScript 3.0 and after): Use getFullYear().  \ 
 *      See explanation 2 above.
