DateTime - TimeZone conversion with Javascript. Partially working!

Expand Post »

Greetings,
I need help with the javascript below. So far, I am able to pass the date through a pop-up calender and this script receives the date in format of "28 Aug 2006 11:47 PM" as a string. I then split the string and take each field for further processing. The problem is that, when the time output is 12:xx AM (only), the date, month and year part are ommited. Example :- if the input is "28 Aug 2006 03:30 AM" then the output becomes "12:00 AM" otherwise when the output is not 12.xx it works just fine. Note that date, month and year are not there in the output when it is 12:00AM

The code for your review is as below. I am using "convertdate" to change display the time in different time zones in HTML.

    return MonthArray[intMonth]

Re: DateTime - TimeZone conversion with Javascript. Partially working!

Ok, I resolved this myself. I had to change the code down below to this...

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
var hour = time.getHours() ;
  var minute = time.getMinutes();
  var curTime = date+" "+GetMonth(time.getMonth())+" ";
  if(hour==0) { hour = "12";}
  curTime += ((hour > 12) ? hour - 12 : hour);
  curTime += ((minute < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minute;
  curTime += (hour >= 12) ? " PM" : " AM";
var hour = time.getHours() ;
  var minute = time.getMinutes();
  var curTime = date+" "+GetMonth(time.getMonth())+" ";
  if(hour==0) { hour = "12";}
  curTime += ((hour > 12) ? hour - 12 : hour);
  curTime += ((minute < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minute;
  curTime += (hour >= 12) ? " PM" : " AM";
