Hi there,

Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? The JavaScript has to find out the year from a source, and that source happens to be the computer's clock.

If you're using ASP, you could easily pass the year at the server to a JavaScript variable:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var serverYear = <%=Year(Now())%>;
</script>

This passes the current year of the server to a JavaScript variable at the client.

HtH,
