Stupid Y2K echo. today.getYear() is depricated in Mozilla's JavaScript in the name of Netscape 4x compatibility. Must use getFullYear() instead. Why must they be backwards compatible with bugs??? Edit: After some research, I have located an explanation. It's still stupid, but at least I now know why. See Bugzilla reports #22964 and #45764.
