setTime Summary

Sets the date and time value in the Date object.

Syntax

dateObj.setTime( milliseconds )

dateObj: Required. Any Date object.
milliseconds: Required. A numeric value representing the number of elapsed milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the setTime method.

function SetTimeTest(newtime){
    var d, s;                  
    d = new Date();            
    s = "Current setting is ";
    s += d.toUTCString();
    return(s);                 
 }

Remarks

If milliseconds is negative, it indicates a date before 1970. The range of available dates is approximately 285,616 years from either side of 1970.

Setting the date and time with the setTime method is independent of the time zone.
