JavaScript 2.0-The Complete Reference, Second ... - freecodingtutorial

"move", "copyLink", "copyMove", "linkMove", "all", "none", and "unitialized". The default
value is uninitialized, which allows the drag-and-drop effect to work though its type is
not queriable via the property. (IE5+)
Methods
clearData([sDataFormat]) Clears the data in the dataTransfer object. The optional
sDataFormat parameter can be set to "Text", "URL", "File", "HTML", or "Image" to
indicate the type of data to remove. (IE 5+)
getData(sDataFormat) Returns the data in the defined sDataFormat (either "Text" or
"URL") from the dataTransfer or clipboardData object. (IE 5+)
setData(sDataFormat,sData) Assigns string data defined by sData in the specified
format defined by sDataFormat (either "Text" or "URL") to the dataTransfer or
clipboardData object (IE5+)
Support
IE 5+
Date (Built-in Object)
The Date object provides a wide variety of methods for manipulating dates and times. It is
important to remember that Date instances do not contain a ―ticking clock‖ but rather hold a
static date value. Internally, the date is stored as the number of milliseconds since the epoch
(midnight of January 1, 1970 UTC). This accounts for the prominent role of milliseconds in
many Date methods.
Milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, and months are enumerated beginning with zero; so, for
example, December is month 11. Days are enumerated beginning with 1. Years should always
be given using four digits. Modern implementations permit years as much as several hundred
thousand years in the past or future, although older implementations often have trouble
handling dates before 1970. Many implementations have trouble handling dates before 1 A.D.
Note that Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Constructor
var instanceName = new Date();
var instanceName = new Date(milliseconds);
var instanceName = new Date(stringDate);
var instanceName = new Date(year, month, day [, hrs [, mins [, secs [, ms]]]]);
The first constructor syntax creates a new Date instance holding the current date and time. The
second syntax creates an instance holding the date given by the number of milliseconds given
in the numeric milliseconds argument. The third syntax attempts to create an instance by
converting the string stringDate into a valid date using the parse() method (see under the
―Methods‖ section). The fourth syntax creates an instance according to its numeric arguments.
If the optional parameters are omitted, they are filled with zero.
