dateVar.setMilliseconds(millisecond)

Parameter	Description

Usage

This method sets the millisecond of dateVar to millisecond. The value of dateVar becomes equivalent to the number of milliseconds from the time on the system clock. Use a positive number for later times, a negative number for earlier times.

Example

This example accepts a number of milliseconds as input and converts it to the date relative to the date and time on the system clock. The illustration shows the result of entering 0 on November 22, 1999.

function test2_Click ()
{
   var aDate = new Date;
   var milli = 20000000;
   aDate.setMilliseconds(milli);
   var aYear = aDate.getFullYear();
   var aMonth = aDate.getMonth() + 1;
   var aDay = aDate.getDate();
   var anHour = aDate.getHours();

   switch(anHour)
   {
      case 0:
         anHour = " 12 midnight.";
         break;
      case 12:
         anHour = " 12 noon.";
         break;
      default:
         if (anHour > 11 )
            anHour = (anHour - 12 ) + " P.M.";
         else
            anHour = anHour + " A.M.";
   }

   TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("The specified date is " + aMonth + "/" + aDay + "/" + aYear + " at " + anHour);
}
