creating a slice of "getFullYear()"

Mar 5, 2012 12:10 PM

I am trying to get the date with the first 2 digits removed i.e instead of "2012", I am trying to get "12". I have seen examples using slice and substr but cant seem to get them to work i this instance.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Below is one of many variations I have tried.

var currentTime = new Date();

var year = currentTime.getFullYear();

year = year.slice(-2);

alert(year);

It's not working for you because getFullYear returns a Number. You need to convert to String before you can use String methods.

Make the date a string then use string methods…

var currentTime = new Date();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear().toString();
year = year.substring( 2,4 );

alert( year );
