Syntax
dateObj.setUTCMilliseconds(millisecondsValue)
Parameters
millisecondsValue
- A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds.
Return value
The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.
Description
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range,
setUTCMilliseconds()
attempts to update the date information in the
Date
object accordingly. For example, if you use 1100 for
millisecondsValue
, the seconds stored in the Date
object will be incremented by 1, and 100 will be used for milliseconds.
Examples
Using setUTCMilliseconds()
var theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCMilliseconds(500);
