Try it
Syntax
setUTCMonth(monthValue) setUTCMonth(monthValue, dayValue)
Parameters
-
monthValue
-
An integer between 0 and 11, representing the months January through December.
-
dayValue
-
Optional. An integer from 1 to 31, representing the day of the month.
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 dayValue
parameter, the value returned from the getUTCDate()
method is used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCMonth()
attempts to update the date information in the Date
object accordingly. For example, if you use 15 for monthValue
, the year will be incremented by 1, and 3 will be used for month.
Examples
Using setUTCMonth()
var theBigDay = new Date(); theBigDay.setUTCMonth(11);
