How get timestamp by UTC Date in javascript?

i would to get timestamp by UTC Date in javascript. I searched and read other questions but i didn't find a solution.

I have this UTC Date 2017-07-16 12:00:07.8 UTC but if i use .getTime() it returns timestampt (milliseconds) in UTC removing another two hours.

I'm in Italy and here Date is UTC+2, maybe .getTime() read data with Italy timezone and when returns timestamp removing that 2 hours? Is it possible? 

var data= new Date(2017,06,16,12,0,7);
var mill= data.getTime();

alert(mill);

OUTPUT

1500199207

I hope you can help me and do not consider my question as duplicate. Thanks...

Solution

  • Use Date.UTC() instead of new Date():

    var mill= Date.UTC(2017,06,16,12,0,7);

alert(mill);

    new Date() assumes the values provided are for the browser's current timezone
