Sets the milliseconds value of the time object.

Availability:

ECMAScript edition - 2

Netscape - 4.0
Property/method value type:Time value
JavaScript syntax:-myDate.setMilliseconds(aMillisecondValue)
Argument list:aMillisecondValuea value between 0 and 999 milliseconds

The computations are done based on extracting a local time value and changing the millisecond count for that, before storing it back again as a local time value.

The result of this method is the new time value having had the milliseconds component set according to the passed-in argument.

Example code:

   <HTML>

   <HEAD></HEAD>

   <BODY>

   <SCRIPT>

   myDate = new Date();

   myDate.setMilliseconds(0);

   myTime = myDate.getTime();

   document.write("The time rounded down to the nearest second is "  + myTime + " Milliseconds");

   </SCRIPT>

   </BODY>

   </HTML>
