One would think that in order to get the current year with JavaScript, you just have to do date_obj.getYear. That’s logical, becuase to get the day it’s getDay, and month is getMonth, but JavaScript likes to be mean. (how rude!) Using getYear will return only a two digit number, for 2006, it’s 16, but we acutally want 2006. To get this, you need to use getFullYear.

I’ve always found this weird, but definitily something good to know so that when you try to get the year with JS and end up with some random number, you don’t pull your hair out.
