JScript Date Object getHours Method

Retrieves the hours stored in a Date object according to local time.

Syntax: JScript Date Object getHours Method

objDate.getHours()

Arguments: JScript Date Object getHours Method

objDate

The name of a Date object.

Remarks: JScript Date Object getHours Method

To get the hours value according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCHours method.

The getHours method returns an integer between 0 and 23 indicating the number of hours since midnight. A zero occurs in two situations: the time is before 1:00:00 am, or the time was not stored in the Date object when the object was created. The only way to determine which situation you have is to also check the minutes and seconds for zero values. If they are all zeroes, it is nearly certain that the time was not stored in the Date object.
