Description

Returns the day of the week value in a Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

Syntax

objDate.getUTCDay()

Remarks

To get the day of the week using local time, use the getDate method.

The value returned by the getUTCDay method is an integer between 0 and 6 representing the day of the week and corresponds to a day of the week as follows:

0 = Sunday
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday

The following example illustrates the use of the getUTCDay method:

function DateDemo()
{
  var d, day, x, s = "Today is ";
  var x = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday");
  x = x.concat("Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday");
  x = x.concat("Saturday");
  d = new Date();
  day = d.getUTCDay();
  return(s += x[day]);
}
