Returns the date in a Date object using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

dateObj.getUTCDate() 

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

Remarks

To get the date using local time, use the getDate method.

The return value is an integer between 1 and 31 that represents the date value in the Date object.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the getUTCDate method.

function UTCDateDemo(){
   var d, s = "Today's UTC date is: ";
   d = new Date();
   s += (d.getUTCMonth() + 1) + "/";
   s += d.getUTCDate() + "/";
   s += d.getUTCFullYear();
   return(s);
}
