Method of Date
Implemented in:	JavaScript 1.3

[edit] Syntax

setUTCFullYear(yearValue[, monthValue[, dayValue]])

[edit] Parameters

yearValue 

An integer specifying the numeric value of the year, for example, 1995.

monthValue 

An integer between 0 and 11 representing the months January through December.

dayValue 

An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. If you specify the dayValue parameter, you must also specify the monthValue.

[edit] Description

If you do not specify the monthValue and dayValue parameters, the values returned from the getMonth and getDate methods are used.

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCFullYear attempts to update the other parameters and the date information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you specify 15 for monthValue, the year is incremented by 1 (year + 1), and 3 is used for the month.

[edit] Examples
