JS-DATE

For immortals Also: JAVASCRIPT-DATE

Arcane Ages defines the standard JavaScript Date class which provides Date and Time functionality. Note that these dates and times refer to real-life dates and time, not mud time.

Class Constructor:

new Date()            Creates a new Date set to the current date and time.
new Date( y, m, d, [h,] [m,] [s,] )
                      Creates a new Date object using year, month, and day numbers.
                      (Month is a number between 0 (jan) and 11 (dec).)  Optionally
                      you may also provide the hour, minute, and seconds (if these
                      are not provided they will be initialized to zero).
new Date( str )       Attempts to create a new Date object by parsing the contents
                      of the string.

Class Methods:

parse( str )          Attempts to create a new Date object by parsing the contents
                      of the string.
