The following example illustrates the use of the toUTCString method.

JavaScript
Copy 
function toUTCStrDemo(){
   var d, s;                   //Declare variables.
   d = new Date();             //Create Date object.
   s = "Current setting is ";
   s += d.toUTCString();       //Convert to UTC string.
   return(s);                  //Return UTC string.
}
