Applies to: Date Object
The setUTCDate method is use to set the numeric date in the Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
Syntax
objDate.setUTCDate(numDate)
The numDate argument is a numeric value equal to the numeric date.
Return
Returns the set date in UTC format.
Example
To set the date using local time, use the setDate method.
If the value of numDate is greater than the number of days in the month stored in the Date object or is a negative number, the date is set to a date equal to numDate minus the number of days in the stored month. For example, if the stored date is January 5, 1996, and setUTCDate(32) is called, the date changes to February 1, 1996. Negative numbers have a similar behavior.
The following example illustrates the use of the setUTCDate method:
newdate = 28;
d = new Date();
d.setUTCDate(newdate);
alert("Current setting is " + d);
//Another format
s = "Current setting is ";
s += d.toUTCString();
alert(s);
