Parameters	Description
millisec	Required. The date and time to be set are the number of milliseconds between midnight GMT January 1, 1970. A millisecond value of this type can be passed to the Date() constructor , which can be obtained by calling the Date.UTC() and Date.parse() methods. Representing the date in milliseconds makes it time zone independent.

Return value

Return parameter millisec. Before ECMAScript was standardized, this method did not return a value.

Tips and Notes:

Note: This method is always used in conjunction with a Date object.

Example

Example 1

In this example we will add 77771564221 milliseconds to 1970/01/01 and display the new date and time:

<script type="text/javascript">

var d = new Date()
d.setTime(77771564221)
document.write(d)

</script>

Copy after login

Output:

Mon Jun 19 1972 11:12:44 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)

Copy after login

Example 2

In this example we will subtract 77771564221 milliseconds from 1970/01/01 and display the new date and time:

<script type="text/javascript">

var d = new Date()
d.setTime(-77771564221)
document.write(d)

</script>

Copy after login

Output:

Sun Jul 16 1967 04:47:15 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)
