Hi, please read the reference for javascript Date object - for example here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Date As written there, for the Date object "Months: 0 (January) to 11 (December)" - so getMonths() returns the number between 0 and 11 - and 9 corresponds to October and not September. Javascript should not have a problem with long numbers if the date is between 1900 and 2100. So the following script var startMillis = new Date(1900,0,1).getTime(); //Get millis for January 1st 1900 var endMillis = new Date(2100,0,1).getTime(); //Get millis for January 1st 2100 var randomDate = new Date(startMillis + Math.random()*(endMillis-startMillis)); //new Date() with millis set to random value between startMillis and endMillis randomDate.toUTCString(); //Output UTC string for randomDate should work fine.
