setMilliseconds

Summary

Sets the milliseconds value in the Date object using local time.

Syntax

dateObj.setMilliseconds( numMilli )

dateObj

Required. Any Date object.

numMilli

Required. A numeric value equal to the millisecond value.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the setMilliseconds method.

function SetMSecDemo(nmsec){
    var d, s;                    // Declare variables.
    d = new Date();              // Create Date object.d.setMilliseconds( nmsec ) ;    // Set milliseconds.
    s = "Current setting is ";
    s += d.toLocaleString();
    s += " and " + d.getMilliseconds();
    s += " milliseconds";
    return(s);                   // Return new date setting.
 }

Remarks

To set the milliseconds value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the setUTCMilliseconds method.

If the value of numMilli is greater than 999 or is a negative number, the stored number of seconds (and minutes, hours, and so forth if necessary) is incremented an appropriate amount.
