To get the date value using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), use the getUTCDate method.

The return value is an integer between 1 and 31 that represents the day-of-the-month value in the Date object.

Example

function DateDemo(){
   var s = "Today's date is: ";

   s += (d.getMonth() + 1) + "/";

   s += d.getFullYear();
   return(s);
}
