Definition and Usage

The getMinutes() method returns the minutes of a time.

Syntax

dateObject.getMinutes()


Tips and Notes

Note: The value returned by getMinutes() is a two digit number. However, the return value is not always two digits, if the value is less than 10 it only returns one digit.

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

<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date();
document.write(d.getMinutes());

document.write(born.getMinutes());
</script>
