JavaScript - Date Code Help Please....
Hello all.. I am new to the programming world and I need some help please. Working on a website for work and needing some Java assistance. I am working on this website. (Very simple) http://opc.deq.state.ms.us/aqi/aqi-msgulfcoastozone.htm and I am trying to set up coding to where the dates are updated daily. The only problem is, that I do not want the dates to update at Midnight Central time. Instead... I want the dates to update at 4pm Central Time (Since that is when I update my forecast) I am the states meteorologist... My 1st inclination is to manipulate the code to where the date would change 4pm Central time which would be midnight (+8 hours) Europe/Helsinki time. I am just unsure on how to manipulate the code to do so.. my current coding is.
script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var currentTime = new Date() var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1 var day = currentTime.getDate() + 1 var year = currentTime.getFullYear() currentTime.setDate(currentTime.getDate()+0); document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year) //--> </script> Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.. I wish I was more familiar w/ coding ... Wish I would have taken coding classes in college. Again much appreciated for reading/taking time to help me out.

Thanks 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, Please i have this code here which is not working to my expectation.Even though the code shows up the date alright but i want to add when it is morning should be AM whiles in evening PM. I have tried several ways to get it but i'm not.please help me to add a code to show PM when the time is (h>11) and AM when (h<11) .Here is what i did Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function runTime(){ var today=new Date(); var h=today.getHours(); var m=today.getMinutes(); var s=today.getSeconds(); if(m<10){ m="0"+m; } document.getElementById("text").innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s; t=setTimeout('runTime()',500); } if(h>11) { document.write("PM"); } else{ document.write("AM"); } </script> <body onload="runTime()"> <div id="text"></div> </body> Thank you. Clement Osei. Problem with the Date when one date variable rolls back to a previous month. Everything is explained he http://kcmaindomain.com/fix-js.html View Page Source of that page to see the java script code. I would greatly appreciate the help as I am fairly amateur coder and I have no idea how to correct this myself. Hi, the source code on the website below i want to know what do i need to change to get the date to show as dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy? http://www.nsftools.com/tips/DatePickerTest.htm thanks for your help Not sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other. For example: if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date). if both dates have values, do nothing. Thanks. Hi, I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31) So; 1/12/2010 is NOT wanted 01/12/2010 IS wanted The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program). Code: </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var todaysDate = new Date(); function updateExpiryDate(){ var weeklyMileage = document.getElementById('AvWeeklyMileage').value; var expiryDate; var weeks = 0; var expiryDateString = ''; if (!isNaN(parseInt(weeklyMileage))){ weeks = 700/weeklyMileage; expiryDate = new Date(todaysDate.getTime() + (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 7 * weeks)); var expiryDateString = expiryDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(expiryDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + expiryDate.getFullYear(); document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = expiryDateString; document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = expiryDateString; } else { document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = ''; document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid weekly average mileage' } } function getMonthString(monthNumber){ var monthString = ""; switch(monthNumber){ case 1: monthString = "01"; break; case 2: monthString = "02"; break; case 3: monthString = "03"; break; case 4: monthString = "04"; break; case 5: monthString = "05"; break; case 6: monthString = "06"; break; case 7: monthString = "07"; break; case 8: monthString = "08"; break; case 9: monthString = "09"; break; case 10: monthString = "10"; break; case 11: monthString = "11"; break; case 12: monthString = "12"; break; default: // do nothing; } return monthString; } function setTodaysDate(){ var todaysDateString = todaysDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(todaysDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + todaysDate.getFullYear(); document.getElementById('todaysDate').innerHTML =todaysDateString; document.getElementById('DateOfPurchase').value = todaysDateString; } Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Also i want to add a datepicke to this textbox..how it is posible / other option is to use Jquery datepicker but could not know how to impement it thanks again This post will contain a few guidelines for what you can do to get better help from us. Let's start with the obvious ones: - Use regular language. A spelling mistake or two isn't anything I'd complain about, but 1337-speak, all-lower-case-with-no-punctuation or huge amounts of run-in text in a single paragraph doesn't make it easier for us to help you. - Be verbose. We can't look in our crystal bowl and see the problem you have, so describe it in as much detail as possible. - Cut-and-paste the problem code. Don't retype it into the post, do a cut-and-paste of the actual production code. It's hard to debug code if we can't see it, and this way you make sure any spelling errors or such are caught and no new ones are introduced. - Post code within code tags, like this [code]your code here[/code]. This will display like so: Code: alert("This is some JavaScript code!") - Please, post the relevant code. If the code is large and complex, give us a link so we can see it in action, and just post snippets of it on the boards. - If the code is on an intranet or otherwise is not openly accessible, put it somewhere where we can access it. - Tell us any error messages from the JavaScript console in Firefox or Opera. (If you haven't tested it in those browsers, please do!) - If the code has both HTML/XML and JavaScript components, please show us both and not just part of it. - If the code has frames, iframes, objects, embeds, popups, XMLHttpRequest or similar components, tell us if you are trying it locally or from a server, and if the code is on the same or different servers. - We don't want to see the server side code in the form of PHP, PERL, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion or any other server side format. Show us the same code you send the browser. That is, show us the generated code, after the server has done it's thing. Generally, this is the code you see on a view-source in the browser, and specifically NOT the .php or .asp (or whatever) source code. I am delving into the coding world and while I understand the basic principle of cookies, conditional statements, arrays, etc... I am still learning how to properly implement them. Any asistance with the following situation would be greatly appreciated and help with my learning as I try to reverse engineer the logic. I have looked around the web and this forum with little success. If the situation below is too complicated, I would really appreciate even a shove in the right direction regarding the logic. ----------------- How could I show a preset counter which counts up from a preset, beginning number toward a preset, end number? I imagine the increment and speed is set be the difference between the two numbers and a timeframe. Assumptions: I would rather not set the increment but edit the end number to show a steady increase. As I update that number, the increment adapts dynamically. I would want the number/script to be useful, so it should not refresh to the beginning number on each page load (i.e. num=0). When a visitor comes to the page, it must seem like the counter has been steadily been increasing in their absence. Coke or Pesi did something similar one time regarding cans sold to date (doubt it was plugged into a DB somewhere but rather based on a steady sales figure) and it was pretty cool. All the best! I'm trying to get my Client Side Firefox DHTML app to display a list of eBooks. For this, i have the following files F:\Textbooks.html F:\eBooks.txt F:\FirstBook.txt F:\SecondBook.txt F:\ThirdBook.txt textbooks.html is my DHTML app eBooks.txt is the Library file with a listing of all of my eBooks. Inside of eBooks.txt is the following data: ----------------- FirstBook.txt, SecondBook.txt, ThirdBook.txt, ----------------- FirstBook.txt to ThirdBook.txt are my actual ebooks. The problem that i'm having is that When i try to click on any buttons other than the FirstBook button, i get the following error: ---------------------------------- Error: unterminated string literal Source File: file:///F:/Textbooks.html Line: 1, Column: 10 Source Code: LoadEbook(' ---------------------------------- So, unlike clicking on the FirstBook button, these other buttons do not load the eBook data into the DIV for displaying the eBook data. I use the DOM insepector to checkout the DOM of the button code, and it seems like whitespace maybe is the problem. However, i have removed whitespace from the HTMLdata string, and that's not fixing the problem. did i forget something silly? LOL i'm using FireFox 3.5 to develop this App. So obviously this will not work with anything other than Gecko Based browsers. here is my HTML code: <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> var eBookLibrary = "eBooks.txt"; var SystemPath = "f:" + String.fromCharCode(92) function Init() { // Initialize the eBook reader document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").style.visibility = "hidden"; document.getElementById("EbookToolbar").style.visibility = "visible"; document.getElementById("FileManager").style.visibility = "visible"; // Load the List of eBooks in the Library LoadBookList(); } function UpdateEbookList() { // Update the Library of Ebooks alert("Updating eBook Library"); // Go back to the File Manager, and Reload the List of Ebooks LoadBookList(); } function LoadBookList() { // This will load the list of books that are available var EbookList = LoadFromDisk(SystemPath + eBookLibrary); var EbookListArray = EbookList.split(","); for(var x = 0; x < EbookListArray.length -1; x++) { // Strip the Filename Extension off of the eBook File Name // The Name of the Book is always the first Index in the Array var BookName = EbookListArray[x].split("."); // Remove the weird whitespace - it screws things up...i think... BookName[0] = BookName[0].replace(/(^\s*|\s*$)/g, ""); var HTMLdata = HTMLdata + "<input type='button' value='" + "FirstBook" + "'" + " onClick=LoadEbook('" + EbookListArray[x] + "');><br>"; } // For some ****ed up reason the first string always generates an 'undefined' even though it's nonsense // So just delete that from the HTMLdata string, because it's just ugly - LOL HTMLdata = HTMLdata.replace("undefined", ""); HTMLdata = HTMLdata.replace("", " "); // Write the HTML data to the DIV document.getElementById("FileManager").innerHTML = HTMLdata; } function LoadEbook(EbookName) { // Hide the File Manager and Show the Ebook Canvas document.getElementById("FileManager").style.visibility = "hidden"; document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").style.visibility = "visible"; document.getElementById("EbookToolbar").style.visibility = "visible"; // Load the Ebook content into the Ebook Reader Pannel var EbookContent = LoadFromDisk(SystemPath + EbookName); document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").innerHTML = EbookContent; } function LoadFromDisk(filePath) { if(window.Components) try { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect"); var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile); file.initWithPath(filePath); if (!file.exists()) return(null); var inputStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/file-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFileInputStream); inputStream.init(file, 0x01, 00004, null); var sInputStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/scriptableinputstream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableInputStream); sInputStream.init(inputStream); return(sInputStream.read(sInputStream.available())); } catch(e) { //alert("Exception while attempting to load\n\n" + e); return(false); } return(null); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="Init();"> <div id="FileManager" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; visibility: visible;"> The eBook Library's List of Books will be listed here.

From time to time, I need to send password information or login details and password information to some users. At the moment, am doing it via email with a subject named FYI and the body of the email basically just contain the login and the password or in some case, just the password. What am wanting to know is whether I can put these information into a HTML file which contains an obfuscated Javascript with a button that a user will click that will prompt for his login information and then will display the password. In its simplest form, I guess I am looking for a Javascript that will obfuscate a HTML file that contains the password. Anyway, hopefully someone understand what am looking for. I found some website that offers such service as obfuscating a HTML file but am hoping it can be done via a Javascript so it is at least "portable" and I do not have to be online. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hey everyone here is my code for looking up a city, and state by zip code.
