Create
var d=new Date();
Note that in JavaScript the month value is from 0 to 11 (0 means January).
Set date and time values
There are two ways to set date and time values:
1. Only declare the number of milliseconds from 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 1970
a. Directly use the number of milliseconds from 12 a.m. on January 1, 1970
var d=new Date(0);
b. parse method:
parse The method accepts a string as a parameter, converts the string into a date value, and returns the number of milliseconds.
For example, create a Date object for February 27, 2012:
var d=new Date(Date.parse("Feb 27,2012"));
If passed to parse The string of the method cannot be converted into a date. The function returns NaN
c. UTC method:
The UTC method also returns the millisecond representation of the date, but the parameters are year, month, day, hour, Minutes, seconds, milliseconds, year and month are required, others are optional.
For example, create a Date object for February 27, 2012:
var d=new Date(Date.UTC(2012,1,27));
2. Directly declare UTC Parameters accepted by the method
var d=new Date(2012,1,27);
The parameter rules are the same as the UTC method.
