setMinutes Method

Sets the minutes value in the Date object using local time.

function setMinutes(numMinutes : Number [, numSeconds : Number [, numMilli : Number]]) 

Arguments

• numMinutes
  Required. A numeric value equal to the minute's value. Must be supplied if either of the following arguments is used.

• numSeconds
  Optional. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. Must be supplied if the numMilli argument 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 numSeconds argument not specified, JScript uses the value returned from the getSeconds method.

To set the minutes value using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), use the setUTCMinutes 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" and setMinutes(90) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 5, 1996 01:30:00." Negative numbers have a similar behavior.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the setMinutes method.

function SetMinutesDemo(nmin, nsec){
    var d = new Date();
    d.setMinutes(nmin, nsec);
    
    var s = d.toLocaleString() 
    return(s);
}
