Applies to: Date Object
The setUTCHours method is use to set the hours value in the Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
Syntax
objDate.setUTCHours(numHours[, numMin[, numSec[, numMilli]]])
The setUTCHours method syntax has these parts:
Part |
Description |
numHours |
Required. A numeric value equal to the hours value. |
numMin |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the minutes value. Must be supplied if either numSec or numMilli are used. |
numSec |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. Must be supplied if numMilli argument is used. |
numMilli |
Optional. A numeric value equal to the milliseconds value. |
Return
Return the set hour 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 set the hours value using local time, use the setHours 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 setUTCHours(30) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 6, 1996 06:00:00.00."
The following example illustrates the use of the setUTCHours method:
nhr = 11;
nmin = 32;
nsec = 23;
d = new Date();
d.setUTCHours(nhr, nmin, nsec);
alert(d);
//Another format
alert("Current setting is " + d.toUTCString());
