The setYear() method is used to set the year.Syntax
dateObject.setYear(year) |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| year | Required. A two or four digit number that indicates the year |
Tips and Notes
Note: If the year parameter is a two-digit number, like setYear(91), it will be perceived as 1991. To specify a year before 1900 or after 1999, always use four digits!Note: This method is always used in conjunction with a Date object.
Important: The setYear() method should no longer be used. Use the setFullYear() method instead!!

In this example we set the year to 1891 with the setYear() method:<script type="text/javascript"> var d = new Date(); d.setYear(1891); document.write(d); </script> |
The output of the code above will be:
