So, I'm trying to update my What's New page and I'd like to add a simple "You were last here on..." statement to give people a reference point for the list of updates. I found a script (below) that seems to do exactly what I want, except for one problem. In Netscape, it works fine. But, in IE4 the year comes out "3900." I finally broke down and got a book to start teaching myself Javascript, but I still don't know enough to figure out what the problem is here. Any help is much appreciated!<P><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> |

The dateobj.getYear() function works differently on IE and NN, and it's a very buggy function. Instead, use the dateobj.getFullYear() function, which works correctly on both browsers. And you won't have to add 1900 to the result, either.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/slimesareneat2/images/slimesig.gif"> |

Wes - did the suggested fix work? If so, can you post the correct code? |
