JAVASCRIPT setDate() METHOD

The setDate() method in javascript sets the date of the current month. Takes a required numeric value from 0 to 31 as its argument.

The general format is:

dateObject.setDate(value);

If you want to return the full date with the setDate() method, you will first have to create a new date object and then use the new date object with the setDate() method.

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">

var dd=new Date(); // creates a new date object

dd.setDate(10); // sets the date to 10th of current month

document.write(dd); // outputs the date

</script>

The above will output:
