getUTCHours
Summary
Gets the hours value in a Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
Syntax
dateObj.getUTCHours()
Return Value
Returns an integer between 0 and 23 indicating the number of hours since midnight. Zero is returned if the time is before 1:00:00 am. If a Date object was created without specifying the time, by default the hour is 0 in UTC time. This time may be non-zero in other time zones.
Examples
The following example illustrates the use of the getUTCHours method.
var date = new Date("1/1/2001");
document.write(date.getUTCHours());
document.write("<br/>");
var date2 = new Date("1/1/2001 11:22:33");
document.write(datee.getUTCHours());
// Output (in the PST time zone):
// 8
// 19
Remarks
The required dateObj reference is a Date object. To get the number of hours elapsed since midnight using local time, use the getHours method.
