getUTCFullYear Method (JScript 5.6) 

  • Article

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.

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);

}
