Example
In this example, we will set the day field of the current month to 15 through the setUTCDate() method:
<script type="text/javascript"> var d = new Date() d.setUTCDate(15) document.write(d) </script>
Output:

If the specified parameter is outside the expected range, calling setUTCDate attempts to update the latest information of the Date object accordingly.
Example:
<html> <head> <title>JavaScript setUTCDate Method</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var dt = new Date( "Aug 28, 2008 23:30:00" ); dt.setUTCDate( 20 ); document.write( dt ); </script> </body> </html>
