getHours Method (Date) (JavaScript)

JavaScript - Internet Explorer 10

Gets the hours in a date, using local time.

Copy 
dateObj.getHours()

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

An integer between 0 and 23, indicating the number of hours since midnight. Zero is returned if the time is before 1:00:00 am. If a Date object was created without specifying the time, by default the hour is 0.

To get the hours value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCHours method.

The following example shows how to use the getHours method.

JavaScript
Copy 
var date = new Date("1/1/2001");
document.write(date.getHours());
document.write("<br/>");

date.setTime(50000000);
document.write(date.getHours());

// Output:
// 0 
// 5

Supported in the following document modes: Quirks, Internet Explorer 6 standards, Internet Explorer 7 standards, Internet Explorer 8 standards, Internet Explorer 9 standards, Internet Explorer 10 standards. Also supported in Windows Store apps. See Version Information.

Applies To: Date Object (JavaScript)
