JavaScript Date.UTC() method

The Date.UTC() method gets a date and returns the number of milliseconds since1970 years1Month1Milliseconds since midnight of the day.

The Date.UTC() method accepts the same parameters as the Date constructor, but treats them as UTC.

It returns the number of milliseconds since1970 years1Month1Milliseconds since UTC 00:00:00 of the day.

World Standard Time (UTC) is the time set by the world time standard.

Since UTC() is a static method of Date, you should always use it as Date.UTC().

Syntax:

Date.UTC(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, millisec)

Example

var d = Date.UTC(2016,　04,　20);

All browsers fully support the UTC() method:

Example

var　d　=　new　Date(Date.UTC(2016,　04,　20));
