Several ways to assign dates

The following examples show several ways to assign dates:

today = new Date();
birthday = new Date("December 17, 1995 03:24:00");
birthday = new Date(95,11,17);
birthday = new Date(95,11,17,3,24,0);

Remarks

If you supply no arguments, the constructor creates a Date object for today's date and time according to local time. If you supply some arguments but not others, the missing arguments are set to 0. If you supply any arguments, you must supply at least the year, month, and day. You can omit the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

The date is measured in milliseconds since midnight 01 January, 1970 UTC. A day holds 86,400,000 milliseconds. The Date object range is -100,000,000 days to 100,000,000 days relative to 01 January, 1970 UTC.

The Date object provides uniform behavior across platforms.

The Date object supports a number of UTC (universal) methods, as well as local time methods. UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), refers to the time as set by the World Time Standard. The local time is the time known to the computer where JavaScript is executed.

For compatibility with millennium calculations (in other words, to take into account the year 2000), you should always specify the year in full; for example, use 1998, not 98. To assist you in specifying the complete year, JavaScript includes the methods getFullYear, setFullYear, getUTCFullYear, and setUTCFullYear.

The following example returns the time elapsed between timeA and timeB in milliseconds.

timeA = new Date();
// Statements here to take some action.
timeB = new Date();
timeDifference = timeB - timeA;

Remarks

getYear is no longer used and has been replaced by the getFullYear method.

The getYear method returns the year minus 1900; thus:

For years above 2000, the value returned by getYear is 100 or greater. For example, if the year is 2026, getYear returns 126.

For years between and including 1900 and 1999, the value returned by getYear is between 0 and 99. For example, if the year is 1976, getYear returns 76.

For years less than 1900 or greater than 1999, the value returned by getYear is less than 0. For example, if the year is 1800, getYear returns -100.

To take into account years before and after 2000, you should use getFullYear instead of getYear so that the year is specified in full.

now() : Number

Returns the number of milliseconds passed since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Remarks

SpiderMonkey extension to ECMAScript standard. Supported by Mozilla only.

Availability

parse(String dateString) : static Number

Parses a string representation of a date, and returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, local time.

String

dateString

A string representing a date.

Using `parse`

If IPOdate is an existing Date object, then you can set it to August 9, 1995 as follows:

IPOdate.setTime(Date.parse("Aug 9, 1995")) ;

Remarks

The parse method takes a date string (such as "Dec 25, 1995") and returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 (local time). This function is useful for setting date values based on string values, for example in conjunction with the setTime method and the Date object.

Given a string representing a time, parse returns the time value. It accepts the IETF standard date syntax: "Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT". It understands the continental US time-zone abbreviations, but for general use, use a time-zone offset, for example, "Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT+0430" (4 hours, 30 minutes west of the Greenwich meridian). If you do not specify a time zone, the local time zone is assumed. GMT and UTC are considered equivalent.

Because parse is a static method of Date, you always use it as Date.parse(), rather than as a method of a Date object you created.

An integer from 1 to 31, representing the day of the month.

Using `setUTCDate`

theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCDate(20);

Remarks

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCDate attempts to update the date information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you use 40 for dayValue, and the month stored in the Date object is June, the day will be changed to 10 and the month will be incremented to July.

setYear(Number yearValue) : Number

Sets the year for a specified date according to local time.

Number

yearValue

An integer.

Using `setYear`

The first two lines set the year to 1996. The third sets the year to 2000.

theBigDay.setYear(96)
theBigDay.setYear(1996)
theBigDay.setYear(2000)

Remarks

Before this method was standardized to ECMAScript, it returned nothing. setYear is no longer used and has been replaced by the setFullYear method.

If yearValue</code. is a number between 0 and 99 (inclusive), then the year for <code>dateObjectName is set to 1900 + yearValue. Otherwise, the year for dateObjectName is set to yearValue.

To take into account years before and after 2000, you should use setFullYear instead of setYear so that the year is specified in full.

toGMTString() : String

Converts a date to a string, using Internet GMT conventions.

Using `toGMTString`

In the following example, today is a Date object:

today.toGMTString();

In this example, the toGMTString method converts the date to GMT (UTC) using the operating system's time-zone offset and returns a string value that is similar to the following form. The exact format depends on the platform.

Mon, 18 Dec 1995 17:28:35 GMT

Remarks

toGMTString is no longer used and has been replaced by the toUTCString method.

The exact format of the value returned by toGMTString varies according to the platform.

You should use Date.toUTCString instead of toGMTSTring.

toLocaleDateString() : String

Converts a date to a string, returning the "date" portion using the current locale's conventions.

Using `toLocaleDateString`

In the following example, today is a Date object:

today = new Date(95,11,18,17,28,35) //months are represented by 0 to 11
today.toLocaleDateString()

In this example, toLocaleDateString returns a string value that is similar to the following form. The exact format depends on the platform.

12/18/95

Remarks

The toLocaleDateString method relies on the underlying operating system in formatting dates. It converts the date to a string using the formatting convention of the operating system where the script is running. For example, in the United States, the month appears before the date (04/15/98), whereas in Germany the date appears before the month (15.04.98). If the operating system is not year-2000 compliant and does not use the full year for years before 1900 or over 2000, toLocaleDateString returns a string that is not year-2000 compliant. toLocaleDateString behaves similarly to toString when converting a year that the operating system does not properly format.

Methods such as getHours, getMinutes, and getSeconds give more portable results than toLocaleDateString.

toSource() : String

Returns a string representing the source code of a Date object.

Remarks

The toSource method returns the following values:

For the built-in Date object, toSource returns the following string indicating that the source code is not available:

function Date() {
   [native code]
}

For instances of Date, toSource returns a string representing the source code.

This method is usually called internally by JavaScript and not explicitly in code.

toString() : String

Returns a string representing the specified Date object.

Using `toString`

The following assigns the toString value of a Date object to myVar:

x = new Date();
myVar=x.toString();   //assigns a value to myVar similar to:
     //Mon Sep 28 14:36:22 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) 1998

Remarks

The Date object overrides the toString method of the Object object; it does not inherit Object.toString. For Date objects, the toString method returns a string representation of the object.

JavaScript calls the toString method automatically when a date is to be represented as a text value or when a date is referred to in a string concatenation.

UTC(Object year, Number month, [Number date,] [Number hrs,] [Number min,] [Number sec,] [Number ms]) : static Number

Accepts the same parameters as the longest form of the constructor, and returns the number of milliseconds in a Date object since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, universal time.

Object	year	A year after 1900.
Number	month	An integer between 0 and 11 representing the month.
Number	date	An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. (optional)
Number	hrs	An integer between 0 and 23 representing the hours. (optional)
Number	min	An integer between 0 and 59 representing the minutes. (optional)
Number	sec	An integer between 0 and 59 representing the seconds. (optional)
Number	ms	An integer between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds. (optional)

Using `Date.UTC`

The following statement creates a Date object using GMT instead of local time:

gmtDate = new Date(Date.UTC(96, 11, 1, 0, 0, 0));

Remarks

UTC takes comma-delimited date parameters and returns the number of milliseconds between January 1, 1970, 00:00:00, universal time and the time you specified.

You should specify a full year for the year; for example, 1998. If a year between 0 and 99 is specified, the method converts the year to a year in the 20th century (1900 + year); for example, if you specify 95, the year 1995 is used.

The UTC method differs from the Date constructor in two ways.

Date.UTC uses universal time instead of the local time.

Date.UTC returns a time value as a number instead of creating a Date object.

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, the UTC method updates the other parameters to allow for your number. For example, if you use 15 for month, the year will be incremented by 1 (year + 1), and 3 will be used for the month.

Because UTC is a static method of Date, you always use it as Date.UTC(), rather than as a method of a Date object you created.

valueOf() : Number

Returns the primitive value of a Date object.

Using `valueOf`

x = new Date(56, 6, 17);
myVar = x.valueOf();      //assigns -424713600000 to myVar

Remarks

The valueOf method returns the primitive value of a Date object as a number data type, the number of milliseconds since midnight 01 January, 1970 UTC.

This method is functionally equivalent to the getTime method.

This method is usually called internally by JavaScript and not explicitly in code.
