Date.prototype.setUTCHours()

Summary

The setUTCHours() method sets the hour for a specified date according to universal time.

Syntax

dateObj.setUTCHours(hoursValue[, minutesValue[, secondsValue[, msValue]]])

Parameters

hoursValue

An integer between 0 and 23, representing the hour.

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.

Description

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

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

Examples

Example: Using setUTCHours

var theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCHours(8);
