Core JavaScript 1.5 Reference:Global Objects:Date:setUTCMinutes

From MDC


Contents

[edit] Summary

Sets the minutes for a specified date according to universal time.

Method of Date
Implemented in: JavaScript 1.3
ECMA Version: ECMA-262

[edit] Syntax

setUTCMinutes(minutesValue[, secondsValue[, msValue]])

[edit] Parameters

minutesValue 
An integer between 0 and 59, representing the minutes.
secondsValue 
An integer between 0 and 59, representing the seconds. If you specify the secondsValue parameter, you must also specify the minutesValue.
msValue 
A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds. If you specify the msValue parameter, you must also specify the minutesValue and secondsValue.

[edit] Description

If you do not specify the secondsValue and msValue parameters, the values returned from getUTCSeconds and getUTCMilliseconds methods are used.

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCMinutes attempts to update the date information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you use 100 for secondsValue, the minutes (minutesValue) will be incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1), and 40 will be used for seconds.

[edit] Examples

[edit] Example: Using setUTCMinutes

theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCMinutes(43);
