compare current time with the selected item in the dropdown

nubees · May 24, 2005

Hello all,

When a person selects a value from the dropdown list and hits submit. the form should be validated before sending to next page.
The selected hour should not be greater than or less than the current hour. In other words if the current time is 4:32 then he should select 4:00 not 3:00 or 5:00.

Code:

<select name="hr" id="select2">
              <option value="01:00">01:00</option>
              <option value="02:00">02:00</option>
              <option value="03:00">03:00</option>
              <option value="04:00">04:00</option>
 		....
		.....             
              <option value="22:00">22:00</option>
              <option value="23:00">23:00</option>
              <option value="00:00">00:00</option>
            </select>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Click Here To Submit" ONCLICK="CheckTime()">

please help

this is what I wrote so far..

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
	function CheckTime() {
	var selected_value = this.form.hr.value;
	var currentTime = new Date()
	var hours = currentTime.getHours()
	var strTime = hours +":00" +" "
	
	if(strTime>selected_value) {
		alert("Please select correct time");
		return false;
	}
	return true;
	}
</SCRIPT>

The code I have written is not working some how.. Please help many thanks in advance

If you are going to use JS anyway, why not just deliver only the value to the page that matches the current hour?

I am using Dreamweaver to build the webpage..

Can you tell me how I can do that?

I want to send that time to the database when submit is clicked. I just want the hour no minutes. like 4:00, 5:00 etc. and also it should go beyond 12:00 like 13:00, 14:00 and there should be no 24:00 after 23:00 but 0:00

Is it possible?

I think I can use a textbox with the current hour showing in it. but how can i accomlish it??

thanks for your suggestion

Something like this should work:

Code:

<html>
<head></head>

<body onload="document.forms[0].elements[0].value = new Date().getHours();">
	<form>
		<input />
	</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan
