Use getFullYear() instead of getYear() to get the 4 digit year value from the date object #JavaScript

Raw

getYear() is deprecated and is replaced by getFullYear()

getYear() is working for IE8, but it is broken for IE10.

For the Date object created by new Date("10/10/2013"), when you use getYear() IE8 returns 2013, but IE10 returns 113.

Inorder to get the 4-digit year value, you need to use the getFullYear() function.
