Date.prototype.setSeconds()
The setSeconds()
method sets the seconds for a specified date according to local time.
Syntax
<var>dateObj</var>.setSeconds(<var>secondsValue</var>[, <var>msValue</var>])
Versions prior to JavaScript 1.3
<var>dateObj</var>.setSeconds(<var>secondsValue</var>)
Parameters
secondsValue
- An integer between 0 and 59, representing the seconds.
msValue
- Optional. A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds.
Return value
The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.
Description
If you do not specify the msValue
parameter, the value returned from the getMilliseconds()
method is used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setSeconds()
attempts to update the date information in the Date
object accordingly. For example, if you use 100 for secondsValue
, the minutes stored in the Date
object will be incremented by 1, and 40 will be used for seconds.
Examples
Using setSeconds()
var theBigDay = new Date(); theBigDay.setSeconds(30);
