Avivit,

Thanks for the reply - as you've discovered, apparently Netscape has some
sort of y2k bug, where it will return 101 for the year 2001.

If you're interested, this revised version of the code works in both IE 
and Netscape :

------------------------------------------------------
  BEGINNING OF CODE SNIPPET ...
------------------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function display_year_combo()
{
	var thisYear, i

	// get current date
	date=new Date()	
	
	// year 2000 problem in old versions of netscape
        // (Netscape returns 101 for the year 2001)
	if(date.getYear()<1000)
	{
		thisYear = date.getYear() + 1900;
	} else {
		thisYear = date.getYear();
	}

	// write beginning of year-combo
	document.write('<select name=\"cboFormYear\">')

	// loop through each year
	for(i=1970;i<=thisYear;i++) {
		document.write('<option value=\"' + i + '\">' + i
                      +'</option>')
	}

	// write end of year-combo
	document.write('</select>') 
}

</SCRIPT>

..... Then the code for the HTML form looks like ....

  <TR>
    <TD><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Select A Year</FONT></TD>
    <TD><FONT face=Verdana size=2>
    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
        display_year_combo();
    </SCRIPT>
    
    </FONT></TD>
  </TR>

------------------------------------------------------
  END OF CODE SNIPPET ...
------------------------------------------------------

Thanks are owed to Arjan Bosboom, who helped me out on this problem.
