Tips and Notes

Note: The value returned by getMilliseconds() is a three digit number. However, the return value is not always three digits, if the value is less than 100 it only returns two digits, and if the value is less than 10 it only returns one digit.
Note: This method is always used in conjunction with a Date object.

Example

In this example we get the milliseconds of the current time:

<script type="text/javascript"> var d = new Date(); document.write(d.getMilliseconds()); </script>

The output of the code above will be:

8

Example 2

Here we will extract the milliseconds from the specific date and time:

<script type="text/javascript"> var born = new Date("July 21, 1983 01:15:00"); document.write(born.getMilliseconds()); </script>

The output of the code above will be:

0

Note: The code above will set the milliseconds to 0, since no milliseconds was defined in the date.
