getSeconds
Summary
Gets the seconds of a Date object, using local time.
Syntax
dateObj.getSeconds()
Return Value
Returns an integer between 0 and 59. Zero is returned when the time is less than one second into the current minute. If a Date object was created without specifying the time, by default the seconds value is 0.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the getSeconds method.
var date = new Date("1/1/2001");
document.write(date.getSeconds());
document.write("<br/>");
date.setSeconds(5);
document.write(date.getSeconds());
// Output:
// 0
// 5
Remarks
The required dateObj reference is a Date object. To get the seconds value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCSeconds method.
