getHours Method

---

Description

The getHours method is used to retrieve the number of hours that have elapsed since midnight.

Syntax

var intHours = objDate.getHours( )

Return Value

An integer between 0 and 23 indicating the number of hours since midnight.

Arguments

The getHours method has no arguments.

Remarks

The getHours method returns zero in two situations: the time is before 1:00:00 am, or the time was not stored in the Date object when the object was created. The only way to determine the difference is to also check the minutes and seconds for zero values. If they are all zeroes, it is nearly certain that the time was not stored in the date object.
