JavaScript - How To Make A Time Variable Switch/if Else

I've just discovered (through trial and error) that if a variable is assigned a value without first being declared, it automatically has global scope, even if it is assigned inside a function.

This is a pain in the butt because if you forget the var keyword, then suddenly ... whoops! You've got yourself a global variable!

Is there any way that I can make javascript throw an exception if I fail to declare a variable before assigning a value to it?

It would make things much easier, rather than having to hunt through increasingly complex functions to find that pesky unintentionally global variable.

hi im using dhtml xgrid where i need to do validation for time ,(from-time and to-time i.e ind==1 and ind==2 ) to-time must be greater than from-time else i need to alert a message to-time must be greater than from-time.
can any one send me the code for it time format is[05:00].
Code:

var err_str="";
function validate_grid(value,id,ind)
	{
	$("#result").html(" ").show();
		if(ind==1 || ind==2)
		{
			var patt=/^([0][0-9]|[1][0-9]|[2][0-3])[:]{1}[0-5][0-9]$/;
			if(!patt.test(value))
			{
				mygrid.setCellTextStyle(id,ind,"background-color:yellow;");
				if(err_str!="")
					err_str+="\n"+(ind+1)+".Enter numbers and : only..";
				else
					err_str=(ind+1)+".Enter numbers and : only";
				return false;
			}
			else
			{
				mygrid.setCellTextStyle(id,ind,"background-color:white;");
				return true;
			}
		}
}

Hi

Code:

var err_str="";
function validate_grid(value,id,ind)
{
 $("#result").html(" ").show();
 if(ind==1 || ind==2)
  {
  var patt=/^([0][0-9]|[1][0-9]|[2][0-3])[:]{1}[0-5][0-9]$/;
  if(!patt.test(value))
   {
	mygrid.setCellTextStyle(id,ind,"background-color:yellow;");
	if(err_str!="")
		err_str+="\n"+(ind+1)+".Enter numbers and : only..";
	else
		err_str=(ind+1)+".Enter numbers and : only";
	return false;
   }
    else
      {
	mygrid.setCellTextStyle(id,ind,"background-color:white;");
	return true;
      }
  }
}
alert(err-str);

here ind==1 is from_time and ind==2 is to_time,i need to validate time as to_time must be always greater than from-time,if condition fails an alert msg should populate.time format is[05:00]as it is in string format im unable to do the validation for it.(ex:from-time=08:00 to-time=07:59 condition fails)

thank you.

I do have the countdown script (see link below) to display the time between current time and the date given in real-time.

However, I want to achieve to display the time difference between a given start and end time. Right now, it calculates from the current server time to the end time.

I want to be able to set up my own start time and end time.

Here is what I have:

thank you for help

I'm not really a Java writer, so I don't know how to do this myself, though I imagine it would be pretty simple.
I am looking to add a script to a webpage that allows users to input a time manually, and have it converted to GMT/Zulu time and display the converted time. I have seen a lot of time zone conversion scripts online, but they all just convert whatever the current system time is to another time zone. I am looking for a script that allows users to convert a time and show the zulu time, for times other than the current time. The time zone the inputed local time would be in is +4:30 (Kabul). I don't really care about style or aestehtics, just a simple script I can insert into a web page to have a time input field. The converted output time can appear in another field, a popup bubble, etc, again style isn't really an issue. It's really just to help people in my job who need to know what the GMT/Zulu time was for certain local times after the fact. One would think it shouldn't be that hard to just subtract 4:30 in your head, but apparently it is.

Sorry if just asking for code outright like this is frowned upon.

hi,

can some one help me how to get the time and date difference? given two time and date with the following format like in textbox A: 2011-05-03 17:35:47.0 and textbox B: 2011-05-03 16:35:47.0 then the output would be: 0 days, 1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds

regards,
verve

This is my first time doing JavaScript I don't what I did wrong here, but the problem its not showing up the current date and time.
Code:

<script language = "JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
now = new Date(); 
localtime = now.toString();
 utctime = now.GMTString();
 document.wite("<b>localtime</b>" + localtime + "</br>");
 document.write("<b>utctime</b>" + utctime); 
 </script>

This is what supposed to look like


I have tried using different browser chrome,IE9,Maxtor, and Opera my OS is Win7

Hello all

I have a video playlist useing iframe
http://alohainvesting.com/html5/Html5player.html

Is there a way to get same results without iframes?

i just want to switch items on nav to the wrapper window.

can this be done?

Thanks

just a general question really... now that I've finally started using switches, it seems to me that they're just a big if /else if statement, with an else thrown in at the end for the default.

but that can't be right. I know that in javascript there are a million ways to achieve the same result, but why would they (whoever they are) go to the trouble of making two basic operations that do exactly the same thing?

to me it seems that switches are better for lots of conditions and if else is a quick way to work with two or three, but apart from readability, are there any inherent advantages in choosing one approach over the other?

all opinions appreciated, and I hope I don't start another argument.

Hi There,

I need your help,

I can't seem to get this work, which it theorecticly should work any ideas?

<script>

var x = 3

switch(x){
case x > 0:
alert("overdue")
break

case x = 0:
alert("due today")
break

case x < 0:
alert("will be due")
break
}
</script>

Much thanks for everyones help.

Cheers,

Jay

how to make a switch that goes on a button(sorry that i cant describe it better)

Give me an example for switch statements.

I had to create one that tests value of parameter using a text string,


I came up with this value Code:

 function createBar(partyType,percent){
switch(partyType) {
case D: <td class='dem'></td>
break;

Should I use " or ' between the dem?

I am using break statements.
do all breaks should end with string or do i need the bracket?

I hope this does not seem like i getting people to do homework for me again,, just want to verify if i did this area correctly?

I have a function I call like this:
var theBase = getBase(percent);

then, the function:
function getBase(percent)
{
var base='';
switch (percent) {
case percent.indexOf("this") == 4:
base = "that"
break;
case percent.indexOf("thisOther") == 9:
base = "thatOther"
break;
}
return base;
}
However, even if percent.indexOf("this")==4 (or if any other case matches perfectly), it never enters that case and assigns a value to 'base'.
What am I doing wrong?

I want to make a function that will also play a sound byte when you click on the large image. i need the sound byte to change with the images.

Here is the code that i am using.

Code:

intImage = 2;
function swapImage() {
switch (intImage) {
case 1:
IMG1.src = "images/picture1-lg-over.png"
IMG2.src = "images/picture2-sm-top.png"
IMG3.src = "images/picture3-sm-btm.png"
intImage = 2;
return(false);

case 2:
IMG1.src = "images/picture2-lg-over.png"
IMG2.src = "images/picture1-sm-top.png"
IMG3.src = "images/picture3-sm-btm.png"
intImage = 3;
return(false);

case 3:
IMG1.src = "images/picture3-lg-over.png"
IMG2.src = "images/picture2-sm-top.png"
IMG3.src = "images/picture1-sm-btm.png"
intImage = 1;
return(false);
}
}

i have tried many things that involved each case to contain a different IMG1.onClick="";
value but it doesnt seem to change when the case changes.

I have also tried making another switch/case that would change the value of the onClick event.. nothing.

any sugestions?
