    There’s a setSeconds method as well:

    var t = new Date();
t.setSeconds(t.getSeconds() + 10);

    For a list of the other Date functions, you should check out MDN

    setSeconds will correctly handle wrap-around cases:

    var d;
d = new Date('2014-01-01 10:11:55');
alert(d.getMinutes() + ':' + d.getSeconds()); //11:55
d.setSeconds(d.getSeconds() + 10);
alert(d.getMinutes() + ':0' + d.getSeconds()); //12:05
