Given a date object   date getFullYear   toString   substr 2 2     It returns the number as string  If you want it as integer just wrap it inside the parseInt   function   var twoDigitsYear   parseInt date getFullYear   toString   substr 2 2   10     Example with the current year in one line   var twoDigitsCurrentYear   parseInt new Date   getFullYear   toString   substr 2 2

var d   new Date    var n   d getFullYear      Yes  n will give you the 4 digit year  but you can always use substring or something similar to split up the year  thus giving you only two digits   var final   n toString   substring 2     This will give you the last two digits of the year  2013 will become 13  etc      If there s a better way  hopefully someone posts it  This is the only way I can think of  Let us know if it works
