I need a logical hh:mm form input function for some of my sites - to get away from user typos. I need more than character validation.
My very low tech on-line users input meeting date, time, title, and description form fields to a FrontPage database. Of course, everyone's entries are viewable in a sequentially sorted calendar. Messed up time versions do not sort correctly. :mad: Having the Access formatting function in the mdb file universally format the time doesn't work with really odd entries, either. A big dropdown menu was too "time consuming" for users - no matter if I tried AM/PM or 24hour.
I've found dozens of scripts for dates, and use a popup calendar that can fill the date field as well as autoformatting script if they hand type it. :( The only time based scripts I find on the internet provide clocks or retrieve current time.
:D My ideal script would both format hand typing, as it is entered, and alternatively let them click tables, lists, or whatever to fill-in the field.
It does not help that I can read javascript a 1,000 times better than I can write it.
