Get textbox text in Javascript

Question

I have a textbox which accepts date values like 01-01-2013. I need to get the year in javascript. This is the code I have used:

var oldRange, aOldRange;  
var newRange, aNewRange;  
aoldRange = new Array();  
anewRange = new Array();  
var oldYear, newYear;  
oldRange = document.getElementById(
                       '<%= txtAcademicYearStartDate.ClientID%>').value;
aOldRange = oldRange.split("-");
oldYear = aoldRange[2];

But I get the value as undefined. What's the issue?

You are using aOldRange, but refering to oldYear = aoldRange[2] — davidkonrad

You have defined aOldRange, but refering to oldYear = aoldRange[2]

try

oldYear = aOldRange[2]
