Returns the year value in a Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
dateObj.getUTCFullYear()
Remarks
The required dateObj reference is a Date object.
To get the year using local time, use the getFullYear method.
The getUTCFullYear method returns the year as an absolute number. This avoids the year 2000 problem where dates beginning with January 1, 2000 are confused with those beginning with January 1, 1900.
Example
The following example illustrates the use of the getUTCFullYear method.
Copy Code
function UTCDateDemo(){
var d, s = "Today's UTC date is: ";
d = new Date();
s += (d.getUTCMonth() + 1) + "/";
s += d.getUTCDate() + "/";
s += d.getUTCFullYear();
return(s);
}
