Subtle Bugs Beleaguer Microsoft's IE

The new millennium is fully underway. And all is well because you've done your homework by ensuring that your PC knows how to speak four-digit dates proficiently. But have you also checked your brand new Web browser for Y2K compliance?

As strange as it may seem, recent versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) are not completely immune from year 2000 worries. Both IE 5.0 on the Windows platform and IE 4.5 on Macintosh computers possess a few double-digit date conundrums.

Operating systems aside, Internet Explorer relies upon date information gathered from a wide range of resources, including application DLL's, HTML page headers, scripting languages, cookies and certificates.

For example, you may have already applied Microsoft's Windows 98 Year 2000 patch, or you may not have even worried about Y2K compliance for your Apple Mac OS. In either case, you could still run into a millennium bug in IE, should your browser come up against a poorly written JavaScript application or a Y2K-ignorant digital certificate.
