Applies to: Date Object
The setUTCMinutes method is ued to set the minutes value in the Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
Syntax
objDate.setUTCMinutes(numMinutes[, numSeconds[, numMilli]])
The setUTCMinutes method syntax has these parts:
Part |
Description |
numMinutes |
Required. A numeric value equal to the minutes value. |
numSeconds |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. Must be supplied if numMilli is used. |
numMilli |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the milliseconds value. |
Return
Returns set minutes in UTC format.
Example
All set methods taking optional arguments use the value returned from corresponding get methods, if you do not specify an optional argument. For example, if the numMonth argument is optional, but not specified, JavaScript uses the value returned from the getMonth method.
To modify the minutes value using local time, use the setMinutes method.
If the value of an argument is greater than its range or is a negative number, other stored values are modified accordingly. For example, if the stored date is "Jan 5, 1996 00:00:00.00", and setUTCMinutes(70) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 5, 1996 01:10:00.00."
The following example illustrates the use of the setUTCMinutes method:
function SetUTCMinutes(nmin, nsec)
{
var d, s;
var sep = ":";
d = new Date();
d.setUTCMinutes(nmin,nsec);
s = "Current setting is " + d.toUTCString()
return(s);
}
document.write(SetUTCMinutes(7, 14));
