Description

Sets the date and time value directly in the Date object.

Syntax
objDate.setTime(milliseconds)

The milliseconds argument is an integer value representing the number of elapsed seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT.

Remarks
If milliseconds is negative, it indicates a date before 1970. The range of available dates is approximately 285,616 years from either side of 1970.

Setting the date and time with the setTime method is independent of the time zone.
