JavaScript - Military Time <>

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.

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 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 - 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 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

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!

I solved the issue by completely removing the LINK, and simply adding the onclick function. thank you anyway.



--------------------------------






I'm sorry if perhaps my first post was to confusing, I hope I can better describe what I'm trying to achieve here.

Here's what's going on.

When a link is 'clicked' such as Code:

<a href="javascript:animatedcollapse.toggle('test')"> I expand and Collapse!</a>

it will 'expand' and 'collapse' a DIV. The script works completely fine, unless I try to place a Code:

<input type="button" value="myButtonValue" />

as the link, so I can submit the information through a php request.

if I use an image, or text, it works fine, but I need to be able to use a button.

You can see an example of a working and non-working 'collapsing and expanding DIV' if you Click Here.

Is there another way around this? I'd even venture to use another form of 'expanding' and 'collapsing' JavaScript if anyone could provide...

Thank you.

I was changing the code on the Grey Box script to pop up only the first time someone came to the page.


The original code that controls this is:

Code:

AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {GB_show("The Kinniebrew Group", "http://therdkgroup.com/id18.html"); 											
	 }
	 );

and to make it work just the first time someone visits the page I changed to read:

Code:

  AJS.AEV(document, 'load', function() {
          // look for our strangely named cookie: 
		  if ( document.cookie.indexOf("zz1rr_xxG") < 0 )
          {
              // if not found...
              document.cookie = "zz1rr_xxG=yes"; 
              // set it for next time...without expire so session only
              // and show the box:
              GB_show("The Kinniebrew Group", "http://therdkgroup.com/id18.html");
          }
      }
	  )

I had this line of code working but it doesn't now after I did something to it. does anyone have an idea how I can modify this to make it work?

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

Hi all.

I'm having a bit of a problem here.

The problem is I'm trying to calculate what EXACT time it is for 238 regions at the same time using their offsets, and as you well know there's 238 regions in the world. The problem is it's only calculating 1 exact time for 2 different offsets depending on what the offset is.

here's the code:

Code:

<script>
function calcTime(offset){
var offset=0;

var timezone="";
var region="";

timezone = "";

    // create Date object for current location
    var d = new Date();
    
    // convert to msec
    // add local time zone offset 
    // get UTC time in msec
    var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);
    
    // create new Date object for different region
    // using supplied offset
    var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));
    
    var tnd = nd.toLocaleString();
    
var x=0;
x=x+1;

if(x>238){x=238;}

for(var x=1;x<=238;x++){
if(x==1){offset = -5; if(offset == -5){timezone="CST";region="USA";}}
if(x==2){offset = 5; if(offset == 5){timezone="AST";region="Asia";}}
a="\The local timezone in \<b\>" + region + "\<\/b\> is \<b\>" + timezone + "\<\/b\> and the local time in \<b\>" + region + "\<\/b\> is \<b\>" + tnd + "\<\/b\>"+'\<br\>';
}
return a;
}
for(var x=1;x<=2;x++){
if(x==1){offset = -5;}
if(x==2){offset = 5;}
document.write(calcTime(offset));
}
</script>

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated, ANY ignorance is GREATLY ignored

Thanks!

p.s. the offsets provided are just a test they are not the actual offsets.

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?

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);

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>
