[Laszlo-user] Date issue (convertion from string)

[Jean-Baptiste BRIAUD]

I added more debug :
  var date_birth = new Date('1/1/2006');
  var thisYear = new Date().getYear();
  var age = thisYear - date_birth.getYear();
  pouette.setText(date_birth + " : " + thisYear + " : " + age);

The text show -> Invalid date : undefined : NaN

So, apparently, the probleme is  on date_birth first,
note that does not mean there is no bug on getYear() (I'll try right now).
