Javascript getCurrentYear in JSP

Question

I'm trying to display current year in a JSP page using JS.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                document.write(getCurrentYear());
</script>

But this is not working and gives an error.

(index):98 Uncaught ReferenceError: getCurrentYear is not defined at (index):98

Can someone please help.

Have you actually defined the method `getCurrentYear` anywhere? — BretC, Feb 28 '19 at 16:45

Have you defined getcurrentyear() inside your script tag??

The Problem you are facing is due to ->

getCurrentYear is not a global function(by Javascript) so it is not defined and you might not have defined it

but creating Date object and calling it's function getFullYear will definitely work.

Code Snippet

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
          document.write(new Date().getFullYear());
</script>
