Which is why the frustration is so high. I don't know either which
browsers have implemented 1.3. So here's my hack:

         CurrentYear = CurrentDate.getYear();
         if (CurrentYear < 1000) {
            CurrentYear = CurrentYear +1900;
            }

Laugh if you must - I have to in order to say sane. ;^P
