Javascript:Add Hours to Date

I am new to Java scripting and trying the following code

        //get hours to be added
        var r=document.getElementById("select").value;
        //value of r can be 5 or 2.5 or so..
        var dt=new Date();
        var time=dt.getHours();
        var time2=dt.setHours(1);
        alert(time2);

But I get some long values like this 1398284822090 Isn't there a better way to add hours and than convert it back to standard format? Any documentation for further details will also be helpful. Thanks..

The long value is a timestamp. Calling setHours actually changes the dt date, so you can simply:

dt.setHours(1);
alert(dt);
