Date Methods for Foil 63
The Date object has no properties; access to date and time fields is via numerous "set" and "get" methods: xmas.setYear(xmas.getYear()+1);
There are two "static" Date methods:
  • Date.parse( date_string )
  • Date.UTC( year, month, day )
Both convert their argument(s) to milliseconds past January 1, 1970 GMT
