jeffman Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Read about the Date object here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_obj_date.aspThe getTime() method returns a timestamp in milliseconds. Simple arithmetic can convert that to seconds, hours, days etc.The documentation does not explain that you can pass Date() a timestamp and get a time in the future or past. So if you got a timestamp for now, subtracted/added a certain number of milliseconds, you could pass the result to Date() and get a date object for some time in the past or future.Be sure to pass the milliseconds to Date() as a string, not a number.
