The numYear argument is a numeric value equal to the year minus 1900.
Return
Returns the set year in UTC format.
Example
This method is obsolete, and is maintained for backwards compatibility only. Use the setFullYear method instead.
To set the year of a Date object to 1997, call setYear(97). To set the year to 2010, call setYear(2010). Finally, to set the year to a year in the range 0-99, use the setFullYear method.
The following example illustrates the use of the setYear method:
newyear = 2008;
d = new Date();
d.setYear(newyear);
alert(d);
//Another format
s = "Current setting is ";
s += d.toLocaleString();
alert(s);
