Applies to: Date Object
Sets the date and time value in the Date object. It returns in milliseconds. To convert the millisecond to string use obj.toLocaleString( ).
Syntax
objDate.setTime(milliseconds)
The milliseconds argument is an integer value representing the number of elapsed seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT.
Return millisecond
Returns set time in milliseconds.
Example
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.
The following example illustrates the use of the setTime method:
function SetTime(newtime)
{
var d, s;
d = new Date();
d.setTime(newtime);
s = "Current setting is ";
s += d.toUTCString();
return(s);
}
document.write(SetTime(1114615678910));
