Description

Sets the minutes value in the Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

Syntax

objDate.setUTCMinutes(numMinutes[, numSeconds[, numMilli]])

The setUTCMinutes method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
numMinutes	Required. A numeric value equal to the minutes value.
numSeconds	Optional. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. Must be supplied if numMilli is used.
numMilli	Optional. A numeric value equal to the milliseconds value.

Remarks

All set methods taking optional arguments use the value returned from corresponding get methods, if you do not specify an optional argument. For example, if the numMonth argument is optional, but not specified, JScript uses the value returned from the getMonth method.

To modify the minutes value using local time, use the setMinutes method.

If the value of an argument is greater than its range or is a negative number, other stored values are modified accordingly. For example, if the stored date is "Jan 5, 1996 00:00:00.00", and setUTCMinutes(70) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 5, 1996 01:10:00.00."

The following example illustrates the use of the setUTCMinutes method:

function SetUTCMinutesDemo(nmin, nsec)
{  
  var d, s;
  var sep = ":";
  d = new Date();
  d.setUTCMinutes(nmin,nsec);
  s = "Current setting is " + d.toUTCString() 
  return(s);
}
