Applies to: Date Object
The setSeconds method is use to set the seconds value in the Date object using local time. It returns in milliseconds. To convert the millisecond to string use obj.toLocaleString( ).
Syntax
objDate.setSeconds(numSeconds[, numMilli])
The setSeconds method syntax has these parts:
Part |
Description |
numSeconds |
Required. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. |
numMilli |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the milliseconds value. |
Return millisecond
Returns set time in milliseconds.
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 set the seconds value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the setUTCSeconds 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" and setSeconds(150) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 5, 1996 00:02:30."
The following example illustrates the use of the setSeconds method:
function SetSeconds(nsec, nmsec)
{
var d, s;
var sep = ":";
d = new Date();
d.setSeconds(nsec, nmsec);
s = "Current setting is ";
s += d.toLocaleString() + sep + d.getMilliseconds();
return(s);
}
document.write(SetSeconds(45, 69));
