JavaScript getFullYear method
JavaScript method getFullYear() returns present year. To illustrate getFullYear() method here we have created a button in the HTML page when you click on this button it calls the function getFullYearFunc() as defined in the JavaScript's script tag.
function getFullYearFunc(){
var myDate = new Date();
alert(myDate.getFullYear());
}
|
In the above function, we have taken current date into a variable myDate. Now "myDate.getFullYear()" would return 4-digit number which represents the current year.
Here is the full JavaScript code with HTML code as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>Get full year example</title>
<script>
function getFullYearFunc(){
var myDate = new Date();
alert(myDate.getFullYear());
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="background: #ff9900; width:'100%';"
align="center">
<font color="#0000ff" size="12pt">
<b>Get Full Year Example</b>
</font>
</div>
<center>
<p> </p>
<input type="button" onclick="getFullYearFunc();"
value="Get full year from date">
</center>
</body>
