Date object enables Java Script programmers to create an object that contains information about a particular date and provides a set of methods to work with that information. To create an instance of the date object, use the keyword new as follows:
var my_date = new Date(parameters);
The parameter, if left empty, indicates today's date & time . The parameter could be any specific date format.
setDate( ) : Sets date of the month based on an integer argument from 1 to 31.
getHours( ) : Returns hours as an integer from 0 to 23.
setHours( ) : Sets hours based on an argument from 0 to 23.
getTime( ) : Returns number of milliseconds since 1 feb 2014 at 00:00:00
setTime( ) : Sets time based on an argument representing the number of Milliseconds since 1 feb 2014 at 00:00:00.
Date class gives the current date. You can take Date class object in a single variable like
var my_date = new Date(parameters);
The parameter, if left empty, indicates today's date & time . The parameter could be any specific date format.
Date object provides the following methods.
getDate( ) : Returns date of the month as an integer from 1 to 31.setDate( ) : Sets date of the month based on an integer argument from 1 to 31.
getHours( ) : Returns hours as an integer from 0 to 23.
setHours( ) : Sets hours based on an argument from 0 to 23.
getTime( ) : Returns number of milliseconds since 1 feb 2014 at 00:00:00
setTime( ) : Sets time based on an argument representing the number of Milliseconds since 1 feb 2014 at 00:00:00.
Date class gives the current date. You can take Date class object in a single variable like
Var today= new Date();
This object represent the current date. You know very well
that every line of code in java script is known as statement. Lets take an simple example
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script type ="text/javascript" >
var todaydate = new Date();
document.write("Date is" + todaydate.toString());
</script>
</body>
</html>
Code generate the following output
