Insert current time

[evr72]

Hello,

I wrote a script to insert the current time on a field depending on another field

for example if my field "start" = "Now" then my field "pick_start_time" should get the current time

what my script is doing when "start" = "Now" I get redirected to a blank page with the time on it
not sure how to get the time on my "pick_start_time" field

here is what I have so far

var tName = 'pick';
var ctrlkeycontrol = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'start'); 
var ctrlkeycontrol02 = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'stop');
var ctrlresp = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'pick_start_time'); 
var ctrlresp02 = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'pick_finish_time'); 
function func() {

var currentTime = new Date()
var hours = currentTime.getHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()
if (minutes < 10){
minutes = "0" + minutes
}
document.write(hours + ":" + minutes + " ")
if(hours > 11){
document.write("PM")
} else {
document.write("AM")
}
 };
if (ctrlkeycontrol.getValue() == 'Now')
ctrlkeycontrol('==', func);

You are not getting redirected to a blank page, what document.write does is it overwrites everything in the page with the value you pass it.

Instead of using document.write, use the value property of your field. For instance:

document.getElementById('myfield').value=hours + ":" + minutes;

...
<input type=text id="myfield">
