JavaScript - I'm Having A Hell Of A Time With This...

1 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:

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

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

Hi - I have a date in my javascript like this:

Mon Dec 12 00:00:00 UTC+0430 2011

I need to convert it to a date without the offset (the +0430).

I actually changed my computer's timezone to generate this offset - we have uses placing orders on our site who don't use UTC and it's throwing our orders out as they need to select a delivery date but it's passing the date with the offset.

How do I convert a date to UTC time?

Thanks

Hi there! Well, I recently found the Image clock code, and I am loving it! But, I would like it to only display pacific time, not retrieve the time from a users browser.

Here's my code:

Hi brothers and sisters,

My first post here. I am trying to do a self-test system for my small company, everything is going smoothly so far however, I am facing some problem with setting a cut off time for doing the test. For example, my staff could not go in to the system after 8pm. Anyone had any idea on how to do it?? I have only some basic knowledge of php which I learn in school thus setting time limit might be too advance for me thus need you guys help.

Thank alot

Hi,

I have very little JS knowledge, on a scale of 1 - 10 I would give me a 1, so apologies if I have this completely backwards.

AIM:

I have a form that takes in times a person was doing an activity, and you can enter multiple times & activities in one go.

e.g.

Person A | Lunch | 12:00 - 13:00
| Meeting | 13:30 - 14:00


I need the JS to validate that Activity B (Meeting in the above example) does not overlap with Activity A (Lunch in the above example). It also needs to check this for all activity's so that none overlap with each other else output error.

I have managed to do this server side in PHP and will include the code as it may help show what I am trying to do better than Im explaining.


PHP Code

Code:

	$Code = $_POST['code'];
	$NumberofCodes = count($Code);
	$Start = array();
	$_POST['starthr'] = array_values($_POST['starthr']);
	$_POST['startmin'] = array_values($_POST['startmin']);
	$i = 0;
	foreach($_POST['starthr'] as $key1 => $value1) {
	$Start[(int)$i] = $_POST['starthr'][$key1] .":". $_POST['startmin'][$key1];
	$i++;
	}
	$Stop = array();
	$_POST['stophr'] = array_values($_POST['stophr']);
	$_POST['stopmin'] = array_values($_POST['stopmin']);
	$i = 0;
	foreach($_POST['stophr'] as $key1 => $value1) {
	$Stop[(int)$i] = $_POST['stophr'][$key1] .":". $_POST['stopmin'][$key1];
	$i++;
	}
		
	$i = 0;
	$j = 1;
	
	while ($i < $NumberofCodes){
		while(($j-1) < $NumberofCodes){
		
	if (($Start[$j] > $Start[$i] && $Start[$j] < $Stop[$i]) || ($Stop[$j] > $Start[$i] && $Stop[$j] <= $Stop[$i])) 
	{
		//Stop form executing and provide error information.
	}
	$j++;
	}
	$i++;
	}

JS Code (What I could manage)

Code:

	var i = 0;
	var j = 1;
	var Start = new Array();
	var Stop = new Array();
	var aa = new Array();
	var bb = new Array();
	
	while (i < counter){
		while((j-1) < counter){
	Start[i] = document.myform.elements('starthr['+i+']').value + ":" + document.myform.elements('startmin['+i+']').value;
	Stop[i] = document.myform.elements('stophr['+i+']').value + ":" + document.myform.elements('stopmin['+i+']').value;
	var a = toDate(Start[i],"h:m")
	var b = toDate(Stop[i],"h:m")
	
	aa[i] = a;
	bb[i] = b;
	
	
	function toDate(dStr,format) {
			var now = new Date();
	 		now.setHours(dStr.substr(0,dStr.indexOf(":")));
			now.setMinutes(dStr.substr(dStr.indexOf(":")+1));
			now.setSeconds(0);
		return now;
	
}	
	if ((aa[j] > aa[i] && aa[j] < bb[i]) || (bb[j] > aa[i] && bb[j] <= bb[i])) 
	{
		//Fail validation
	}
	else
	{
	        //Pass Validation
	}
	j++;
	}
	i++;
	}

Any help on this would great.




Thanks

I got this script and I'm trying to get the EST hour but I have a big concern that it doesn't work, can somebody help me and tell me if it works by him (it should display "15" even if he doesn't have est time) and if not plaese tell me why. Thank you. Try it he http://jsfiddle.net/fqz37/

Code:

// function to calculate local time
// in a different city
// given the city's UTC offset
function calcTime(city, offset) {

    // create Date object for current location
    d = new Date();

    // convert to msec
    // add local time zone offset 
    // get UTC time in msec
    utc = d.getHours() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

    // create new Date object for different city
    // using supplied offset
    nd = d.getHours(utc + (3600000*offset));

    // return time as a string
    return nd.toLocaleString();

}

// get NY time
ny=(calcTime('', '-5'));

document.write (ny);

Hi,

There are two text boxes in a HTML form. The first text box takes the time when the user starts to work on a project. The second box takes the time when the user stops working on that project.

Now, I would like to calculate the total time worked on that project for that user. That is (stop time - start time). I tried few things without success.

Any help will be appreciated.

I want to make a javascript clock (using Server time and not user computer time). After searching I have found the code on http://www.elated.com/articles/creat...ascript-clock/
The Code is:
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function init ( )
{
  timeDisplay = document.createTextNode ( "" );
  document.getElementById("clock").appendChild ( timeDisplay );
}

function updateClock ( )
{
  var currentTime = new Date ( );

  var currentHours = currentTime.getHours ( );
  var currentMinutes = currentTime.getMinutes ( );
  var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds ( );

  // Pad the minutes and seconds with leading zeros, if required
  currentMinutes = ( currentMinutes < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentMinutes;
  currentSeconds = ( currentSeconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentSeconds;

  // Choose either "AM" or "PM" as appropriate
  var timeOfDay = ( currentHours < 12 ) ? "AM" : "PM";

  // Convert the hours component to 12-hour format if needed
  currentHours = ( currentHours > 12 ) ? currentHours - 12 : currentHours;

  // Convert an hours component of "0" to "12"
  currentHours = ( currentHours == 0 ) ? 12 : currentHours;

  // Compose the string for display
  var currentTimeString = currentHours + ":" + currentMinutes + ":" + currentSeconds + " " + timeOfDay;

  // Update the time display
  document.getElementById("clock").firstChild.nodeValue = currentTimeString;
}

// -->
</script>

</head>
<body onload="updateClock(); setInterval('updateClock()', 1000 )">

<div>
  <span id="clock">&nbsp;</span>
</div>


</body>
</html> 


The problem is that it (the code above) is using the users computer time.

(I found (in the comments of http://www.elated.com/articles/creat...ascript-clock/) that I should use:
PHP Code:
var currentTime = [serverValue goes here]; 


But I don't really know what should I put in the "serverValue goes here" ..... )


So how can I make this code to use the server time (and not the users time)?


Any Suggestion Will Be Helpfull

How to know the execution time of a function?

For example, which of these functions run in less time? That is, which of these functions are more weightless to run?

Code:

document.getElementById("my_image").src = "images/picture.png";

//or

document.getElementById("my_image").style.webkitTransform = "rotate(45deg)";

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am currently working on a site where I need to display the date. The portion I'm working on looks something like this:

Yesterday Entries for Today's Date Tomorrow

If the user clicks the yesterday link, then that date needs to show. The same goes for the tomorrow link. Otherwise, the current date will show. I have most of the function setup. The problem is I don't know how to check whether or not a link has been clicked. I also need to know how to setup the function within the link. Here's what I have:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript: previous(yd);return false">Yesterday</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The onclick event is supposed to refer back to the function I created to determine what date to display based on which link the user clicks. So my questions a

1) Is my link setup properly to allow the function to run?
2) How can I check to see whether or not a link has been clicked in my function?

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in Advance

I am very new to js. I have a jquery plugin that is a live countdown timer and I would like to modify it.
Can someone tell me how to modify the code below so that the date is 20 minutes from right now (currently it is set as 26 January 2013).

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
	var austDay = new Date();
	austDay = new Date(austDay.getFullYear() + 1, 1 - 1, 26);
	$('#defaultCountdown').countdown({until: austDay});
	$('#year').text(austDay.getFullYear());
});
</script>
