getUTCSeconds

Summary

Gets the seconds of a Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

Syntax

dateObj.getUTCSeconds()

Return Value

Returns an integer between 0 and 59. Zero is returned when the time is less than one second into the current minute. If a Date object was created without specifying the time, by default the UTC seconds value is 0.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the getUTCSeconds method.

var date = new Date("1/1/2001");
 document.write(date. getUTCSeconds());

 // Output: 0

Remarks

The required dateObj reference is a Date object. To get the number of seconds in local time, use the getSeconds method.
