JavaScript - Getting The *real* Date & Time
Hi everyone, hope you can help.
I've got a JS events calendar on my website, and on one of the entries I want the ticket link not to appear until a certain time & date (9:30am, Fri 29 Apr 2011, UTC+1). I've written the code for this to work: Code: var releasetime = 1304065800000
var currentdate = new Date()
var currenttime = currentdate.getTime()
if (currenttime >= releasetime){
document.write("<a href=\"ticket link\" rel="nofollow" target=\"_blank\">BUY TICKETS</a>")
}
And that's all good and working fine. EXCEPT, because it's taking the time & date from the local machine, all the user has to do is change the date on his PC to be able to see the ticket link. Is there any way to get the *actual* date & time? Thanks Cliff Similar Tutorials1 down vote favorite 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: http://jsfiddle.net/BgEtE/ thank you for help I need to make a counter that counts up (preferably in real time but not crucial). Ideally, it would count up by 9 dollars per second and go to the hundred millions. Thanks in advance! One that I have seen is at www.costofwar.com This is in real time, but that feature is not crucial. Hello, I have an existing php contact form which incorporates php validation (required name with only characters, valid email address format, and minimum message length) and re-captcha. I would like to add some "real time" validation to the fields on my form (there are 3 fields - name, email and message) before the "Submit" button is pressed. For example when the user tabs from one text box to the next but hasn't filled in the required information. I am totally new to any type of java, but am I right in thinking I need either JavaScript, Ajax or JQuery to perform real-time validation? If so, which should I be looking into and are there any basic examples of form validation? I want to keep my pup validation as I'm aware that php is client-side but still needed as people can turn Java off in their web browsers. Any tips and pointers will be very much appreciated! Thankyou, Tom 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 Hi guys, I have JavaScript code that displays the date, time and URL in the web page, here is the code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>JavaScript Page One</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var today=new Date() var browser=navigator.appName; var b_version=navigator.appVersion; var version=parseFloat(b_version); document.write(''+today.toString()+'<br>'+window.location+'') document.write("<br />"); document.write("Browser name: "+ browser); document.write("<br />"); document.write("Browser version: "+ version); </script> </body> </html> How can i format it so that it uses the following colors for different date and time components: Day in red, Date in green, Month in yellow, Year in blue, Hours and Minutes in brown? And also, what is the JavaScript code to successfully display the number of forms, anchors and links in the page?

The Red part is html coding. Doesn't seam to work - please help me. The idea is that after the date (22.06.2011 at 12:00) the content changes to the picture. Thank you in advanced for helping me Hi. I am having a little trouble with the following code, I am unsure where the problem is I will start from the beginning. Let me know if this is correct. 1. asked to declare a variable named timeStr=to the value returned from the showDateTime() function. 2.declare a variable named mapNum equal to the value returned from the getMap() function. Code: <title>SkyWeb: The Planisphere</title>
<link href="skyweb.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="datetime.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function timestr(){
/*
timestr is a text string containing the current date and time
mapNum is the number of the map to display in the planisphere
*/
var timeStr=showDateTime();
var mapNum=getMap();
}
</script>
</head>
It asks me to scroll down to the div element with the id value "maps" and replace the line <img id="sky" src="sky0.jpg" alt=""/> with a script element that writes the following code<img id='sky' src='skymapNum.jpg' alt='' /> where mapNum is the value of the mapNum variable. replace the date/time value "Jan 1 2007, 12:00 am" with a script element that writes the value of the timeStr variable to the web page. Code: <div id="maps">
<img id="sky" src="sky0.jpg" alt="" />
<img id="mask" src="mask.gif" alt="" />
<div id="datetime">
January 1, 2007, 12:00 am

I have created a 2 frame site where I want the top frame (header) to redirect the other frame (main) to a different page depending on the date, time, and second. For example, on 12 FEB at 07:00:00, I would like the header frame to redirect the main frames page to EmmasBday.html; in which I would be alerted of my little sisters Birthday. This is for personal use and isn't going to be hosted online so I will just use JavaScript, it's basically a simple system to remind me of crucial events at certain times and dates so I don't forget them. The same events will apply every year, so there is no need to programme in specific years although having the option could prove useful. I am aware of other alternatives to achieve this, but would very much like to work with JavaScript; as I can expand it. As I state, this is for personal use and therefore won't be hosting it; I will use JavaScript throughout and cannot use anything else like PHP, Perl, etc. I am aware JavaScript takes the time & date from the computer hosting it (unlike PHP), which is fine. So, for example; at 14:30:00 I will be informed to get dinner; and at 15:00:45 I'll be informed to study. The knowledge you guys have presented so far is phenomenal, and I couldn't think of anybody better to ask for assistance. Anyway, I hope you can resolve my problem and I'm looking forward to a response! Thanks for your concern, you brain Gods you! AHa. Hello. I just want to check whether it is possible (and if so whether there is one available) to have a script that displays MY current time and date to visitors to my website. My time is Western European Time or Greenwich Mean Time. I would like visitors from eg Japan to see my local time and not their own. I think some date scripts I have seen use the user's local PC clock, but I am not sure? Thanks for any feedback and help! Hi All, I wonder if you can help me with some time and date formatting in JS. I already use a neat date formatting JS script which is useful when a PERL script returns a date field of 'DATE' by converting it from yyyy-mm-dd to dd month(in text) yyyy: <script type = "text/javascript"> var months = ["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November"," December"]; var myString = "[[date]]"; var mySplitResult = myString.split("-"); var mm = parseInt(mySplitResult[1],10)-1; // note that months are 0-11 document.write(mySplitResult[2] + " " + months[mm] + " " + mySplitResult[0] ); </script> I have, however, run across a little problem where I have results coming through with date AND time, e.g. 18:12 2010-07-14 What I need is something that will reorder the above to: 14 July 2010 at 18:12 Can someone help please! Regards, Neil Hi All, I've done a few searches on it, but I can't seem to find the correct order for my date / time script. I have a field that returns the date/time in the following format: Y-m-d H:i:s (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) What I want to do is rearrange this so that it says: 'dd' 'month-name' 'yyyy' at 'time' Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Neil I have the following code on my site. I use this in the header of mysite Code: <script type="text/javascript">

This gives me 4 clocks which i set at different time zones Can someone assist me in showing me a way to accelerate the time for this clock. I would like the minutes to be only 5 seconds long versus the normal 60 seconds per minute. I fly a flight sim and the in game world clock is accelerated at this pace and my squad would like to be able to see the time it would currently be in the game so we can avoid launching the game at certain in game times. If this can't be done, does anyone know of a separate java script that can accomplish this? Thank you in advance, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Hi All, Im new to javascript (new to programming in general!) and I have a date script and a time script that I want to run and placed into a form. The form will be listed as: Date: 21/10/2014 Time: 03:20:00 PM I have the scripts and they are working.. only when I put them both in the same page, only one will work. Date Script: function my_curr_date() { var currentDate = new Date() var day = currentDate.getDate(); var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1; var year = currentDate.getFullYear(); var my_date = day+"-"+month+"-"+year; document.getElementById("dateField").value=my_date; } <body onload='return my_curr_date();'> Time Script: function DisplayTime(){ if (!document.all && !document.getElementById) return timeElement=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("curTime"): document.all.tick2 var CurrentDate=new Date() var hours=CurrentDate.getHours() var minutes=CurrentDate.getMinutes() var seconds=CurrentDate.getSeconds() var DayNight="PM" if (hours<12) DayNight="AM"; if (hours>12) hours=hours-12; if (hours==0) hours=12; if (minutes<=9) minutes="0"+minutes; if (seconds<=9) seconds="0"+seconds; var currentTime=hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+DayNight; timeElement.innerHTML="<font style='font-family:verdana, arial,tahoma;font- size:12px;color:#E25984; font-weight:bold;'>"+currentTime+"</b>" setTimeout("DisplayTime()",1000) } window.onload=DisplayTime ____________________________________ Separately, they both work perfectly. But together, only one will display. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Jess Hi guys. I'm trying to make a small bit of scripting that will show the current time, updating once every second. What I need is the following: 1. Multiple timezones or GMT offsets (just put me on the right path, I can code them in, 2. Daylight savings time taken into consideration (only for Australia), adding the 1 hour during the times it is needed, 3. Text to show "Open" and "Closed" during different times (open during 8am to 5pm and closed if not 8am to 5pm.) I have the following code as a start, but I am completely stuck with how to get the rest of what I need! Any help would be appreciated. <h4>Victoria <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var currentTime = new Date() var hours = currentTime.getHours() var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes() if (minutes < 10){ minutes = "0" + minutes } document.write(hours + ":" + minutes + " ") if(hours > 11){ document.write("PM") } else { document.write("AM") } //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var currentTime = new Date() var hours = currentTime.getHours() var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes() if (minutes < 10){ minutes = "0" + minutes } if(hours > 11){ document.write("True") } else { document.write("False") } //--> </script> </h4> Cheers in advance.

Hello, I would like to learn if there is way to change a different format every time the user want as example is Code: London 12:00:33 - Friday 18/03/2011 Thanks Hello, I've obtained the following code. Code: function makeDate(){
var d = new Date();
var strDate=d.getFullYear() + "/" + (d.getMonth()+1) + "/" + d.getDate() + " ";
strDate += d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes() +":"+ d.getSeconds() ;
return strDate;
and I think I'm going to get the time and date indications in 2 digits. I want to get it like this: 2009/12/07 18:07:33 NOT like: 2009/12/7 18:7:33 How should I alter the code? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. |
