How to set Hours,minutes,seconds to Date which is in GMT

Question

I have Date Object ,I wanted to clear HOUR,MINUTE and SECONDS from My Date.Please help me how to do it in Javascript. Am i doing wrong ?

var date = Date("Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT");       date.setHours(0);       date.setMinutes(0);       date.setSeconds(0); 

Expected result is

Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT 

How Do I achieve ?

Answer 1

According to MDN the setHours function actually takes additional optional parameters to set both minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Hence we may simply write

// dateString is for example "Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT" function getFormattedDate(dateString) {    var date = new Date(dateString);    date.setHours(0, 0, 0);   // Set hours, minutes and seconds    return date.toString(); }
