Example

The following example does the following work:

• To assign the date of the 2000 summer solstice, it uses the Set UTC Full Year method

• To assign time to a date object, it uses the Set UTC Hours method

• Determines the local date and displays it

This example uses the following code:

function dateBtn_Click ()
{
   var Mstring = " A.M., Standard Time.";
   var solstice2K = new Date;
   solstice2K.setUTCFullYear(2000, 5, 21);
   solstice2K.setUTCHours(01, 48);
   var localDate = solstice2K.toLocaleString();
   var pos = localDate.indexOf("2000")
   var localDay = localDate.substring(0, pos - 10);
   var localHr = solstice2K.getHours();
   if (localHr > 11 )
   {
      localHr = (localHr - 12 );
      Mstring =  " P.M., Standard Time.";
   }
   var localMin = solstice2K.getMinutes();
   var msg = "In your location, the solstice is on " + localDay +
      ", at " + localHr + ":" + localMin + Mstring;
   TheApplication().RaiseErrorText(msg);
}

This example produces the following result:

In your location, the solstice is on Tue Jun 20, at 6:48 P.M., Standard Time.
