Syntax: JScript Date Object getMonth Method

objDate.getMonth()

Arguments: JScript Date Object getMonth Method

objDate

The name of a Date object. Required.

Remarks: JScript Date Object getMonth Method

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

The getMonth method returns an integer between 0 and 11 indicating the month stored in the Date object. The integer returned is not the traditional number used to indicate the month-it is one less. If "Jan 5, 1996 08:47:00" is stored in a Date object, getMonth returns 0.
