Complete Date Object Reference

Definition and Usage

The setUTCSeconds() method is used to set the seconds of a specified time according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

Syntax

dateObject.setUTCSeconds(sec,millisec)

Parameter	Description
sec	Required. A numeric value between 0 and 59 representing the seconds
millisec	Optional. A numeric value between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds

Tips and Notes

Note: This method is always used in conjunction with a Date object.

<script type="text/javascript">

var d = new Date();
d.setUTCSeconds(1);
document.write(d);

</script>
