Core JavaScript 1.5 Reference:Global Objects:Date:setUTCSeconds

From MDC


Contents

[edit] Summary

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

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

[edit] Syntax

setUTCSeconds(secondsValue[, msValue])

[edit] Parameters

secondsValue 
An integer between 0 and 59.
msValue 
A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds.

[edit] Description

If you do not specify the msValue parameter, the value returned from the getUTCMilliseconds methods is used.

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

[edit] Examples

[edit] Example: Using setUTCSeconds

theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCSeconds(20);
