Description

Modifies the minutes stored in the Date object according to local time.

Syntax
objDate.setMinutes(numMinutes[, numSeconds[, numMilli]])

The setMinutes method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
numMinutes Required. A numeric value equal to the minutes value.
numSeconds Optional. A numeric value equal to the seconds value. Must be supplied if the numMilli argument is used.
numMilli Optional. A numeric value equal to the milliseconds value.

Remarks

All set methods taking optional arguments use the value returned from corresponding get methods, if you do not specify an optional argument. For example, if the numMonth argument is optional, but not specified, JScript uses the value returned from the getMonth method.

To set the minutes value according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the setUTCMinutes method.

If the value of an argument is greater than its range or is a negative number, other stored values are modified accordingly. For example, if the stored date is "Jan 5, 1996 00:00:00" and setMinutes(90) is called, the date is changed to "Jan 5, 1996 01:30:00." Negative numbers have a similar behavior.
