VbsEdit is a VBScript and Javascript editor


dateObj.setMonth(numMonth[, dateVal])

dateObj: Required. Any Date object.

numMonth: Required. A numeric value equal to the month.

dateVal: Optional. A numeric value representing the date. If not supplied, the value from a call to the getDate method is used.

To set the month value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the setUTCMonth method.

If the value of numMonth is greater than 11 (January is month 0) or is a negative number, the stored year is modified accordingly. For example, if the stored date is "Jan 5, 1996" and setMonth(14) is called, the date is changed to "Mar 5, 1997."

The following example illustrates the use of the setMonth method.

	Copy Code
function SetMonthDemo(newmonth){ var d, s; //Declare variables. d = new Date(); //Create Date object. d.setMonth(newmonth); //Set month. s = "Current setting is "; s += d.toLocaleString(); return(s); //Return new setting. }

Copy Code

function SetMonthDemo(newmonth){
   var d, s;               //Declare variables.
   d = new Date();         //Create Date object.
   d.setMonth(newmonth);   //Set month.
   s = "Current setting is ";
   s += d.toLocaleString(); 
   return(s);              //Return new setting.
}
