Date and time validation

[Papapax]

Hi,

I have a problem with a date and time validation issue.

On

http://www.tapatapa.co.uk/prototype/reservation.html

I have a form to request a restaurant booking.

The validation on the time field should see if the the user is requesting a booking for the same day, if it is for the same day and the time for the booking is past 20:00 on the same day a javascript alert should notify the user to call the venue as the request is too close to the closing time.

Hopefully it makes sense, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Frank

If 20:00 is "too close to the closing time" why does it matter that it's on the same day?

Bob,

Presumably because 8pm on the following day wouldn't be too close to closing time on the day the booking was made (it'd be at least 24 hours away - plenty of time for admin, etc).

Frank,

You should be able to get the hour by splitting the value of the select element on the colon. Pretend the variable 'bookingTime' holds the string '21:00' from your form :

var bookingTime = '21:00';
var hourPortion = parseInt(bookingTime.split(':')[0], 10);
if (hourPortion >= 20) {
   // fail validation here
}

Hope this helps,
Dan
