Description
If you do not specify the secondsValue
and
msValue
parameters, the values returned from
getSeconds()
and
getMilliseconds()
methods are used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setMinutes()
attempts to update the date information in the Date
object accordingly.
For example, if you use 100 for secondsValue
, the minutes will
be incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1
), and 40 will be used for
seconds.

var theBigDay = new Date();
