Modifying Countdown Script To End At Specific Hour Instead Of Day?
Dec 20, 2011
I have a countdown script I'd like to modify so that the countdown ends at a specific hour, and not on a particular day at midnight. I'm new to coding (Ruby), so still trying to get the hang of Javascript:
var current="Expired"
var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
function countdown(yr,m,d){
theyear=yr;themonth=m;theday=d
var today=new Date()
I have a webpage with a world clock. On the clock page are 12 buttons (World Cities). When the user clicks these buttons. The time for the relevant world city is displayed. (The time is updated by an on.click function for each individual button. That either subtracts or adds the hours from GMT. For example. If the time is GMT 18:00:00. The user clicks the Paris button and the function adds 1 hour to result in 19:00:00)
However. If the GMT time is for example 21:00:00 and the user clicks the Tokyo button (GMT+9 hours). The time displayed is 30:00:00. So I have been trying to work out how I can stop the time adding past 23:59:59.
I found the below script that works fine for the actual countdown, but when the user refreshes the page, the countdown starts from 5 minutes again.
What I am trying to do, is handle users that put something in their shopping cart and then get side tracked or what ever reason and that same product then being purchased by another person when I only have 1 left.
So using PHP I am going to subtract the qty of that product by 1 and then I want the website to either put it back, if the users checkout times out, or if a normal process it is taken out permanently.
So long story short I think I need some sort of 'memory' for the javascript, so the user can't just keep refreshing and it starting from 5 minutes each time. Also it needs to be carried through to other pages.
I'm really struggling to write a bit of JS that displays the amount of time left to when your order will be shipped.For Example: If it's
1:05pm on Sunday, it would say: "Place your order within the next 1 day 2 hours 55 minutes and your order will ship Monday"
Another example: If it's 2:00pm on Saturday, it would say: "Place your order within the next 2 hours and your order will ship today"
I need to be able to change the cut off point from 4pm if needed...It must also ignore bank holiday (Ideally, it would have a section in the code where I could put all 'excluded' dates, e.g. 12/25/2009, 01/01/2010, etc. - This way I could keep it up to date).The code must take into account that we only deliver Monday to Friday (Therefore on a Friday after 4pm, it would not say delivery tomorrow, but Monday).Once the deadline hits (4pm), the countdown jumps back up to accommodate tomorrow's deadline, etc.Amazon does a very similar thing,
Im putting together a pair of countdown timers that need to restart every 24 hours. One restarts at noon and the other at midnight. Im using Keith Woods plugin @ [URL]
So far I have been able to implement his serverTime function to sync to the servers clock and instantiated 2 countdown timers. so far so good.
What I need to do now is 2 things:
1. I need to define today + X hours to countdown to instead of setting a exact date like in this example:
var noonCountDown = new Date(); noonCountDown = new Date(noonCountDown.getFullYear() + 0, 5 - 1, 28, -12);// 2011, May, 28, 12pm
2. Once today is defined dynamically I believe that may just solve the problem and reset the timer. But I may not be thinking clearly here. So I guess Im just wondering if this is how you would go about making the countdown restart upon completion.
Here is my code that Ive got so far:
$(function () { function serverTime() { var time = null; $.ajax({url: 'http://www.localhost.com/projects/countdown/servertime.php',
I'm using a javascript-based countdown timer that currently uses the client's system time to calculate the countdown. I assume that this line of code is where this is performed:
Code:
I'm trying to make the script use server time instead as some people may have wrong dates/times set or live in different time zones etc.
So what I did was use a bit of php:
PHP Code:
This gives a result but now the countdown is 30 days off. I am testing on my local xampp server (which also uses system time) so there should be no discrepancy. I also tried adding
Code:
But no difference.
I can post the whole script if required but it is reasonably long.
I have calendars on my site where tenants can make reservations for shared rooms. The start times are listed in a drop down starting at 8am and going through 5pm at one hour intervals. What I'd like to be able to do is make the drop down be populated 1 hour from the current time. For example, if it is 8 now, I'd like the time in the drop down to start at 9. Is this something that's possible or wishful thinking?
I am trying to roll out a 24 hour event, where at the top of every hour one div is swapped out for another. The code I'm using is:
onload=function(){ var rightNow = new Date(); var day = rightNow.getDay(); var hour = rightNow.getHours();
[Code].....
But, it only works with two instances of it...for two divs. If I put the code in three or more times, to swap out 3 or more divs, it doesn't work.
I'm thinking I should be able to write everything into one block of code, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions? I'm sorry to bother people with this, I just can't find any info online and I want to test it out ASAP so I know if I have to abandon the effort and try something else. I would just like to avoid having to build it in Flash too.
I am trying to create a script that will load an image based upon the hour of the day... Ultimately, the script needs to function as follows:
- A user navigates to the URL - An image is displayed that is 2 hours old
I have a camaera/utility to upload my image files by hour and updated every 10 minutes. So I have 24 images with a consistent name based upon the hour they where captured (e.g. 12.jpg, 13.jpg, etc...).
Therefore, all I need it a script that will determine what the current hour and display the image that corresponds to two hours previous. I know I can use the javascript math functions to get the 2 hour delay, but it's actually outputting the images that I'm having difficulty with.
I'm thinking I need to use the javascript "Switch" function, similar to the following, but I just can't seem to figure out how to make the script output an image instead of text. Code:
The code bellow validates an number is between 0 and 59.I want to modify the code to make another function which validates an entered value is numeric and between 0 and 24 (for the hour of the day).Since sorry i did not understand the function bellow, can some one pls help me understand it or guide me for creating a similar function which validates the entered hour of the day is between 0 and 24?
function isBetween_0_59(evt, ctrl) { var result = isNumberKey(evt); if (result) {[code]........
works ok, but my alert box comes in really slowly, then bounces. I want it to appear faster and to also appear after exactly one hour. I don't think that works right either. What do I need to change in order to do this?
I have some time for selection on my form, 30 minute time slots by default, what I would like to do is if a user has checked 1 hour then the selected time along with the an extra 30 minutes is selected
<% set Rs1 = objconn.execute("SELECT * FROM tEvents ") %> <select id="eventTime" name="eventTime" onchange="checkTime();"> <option class="xxx" value="1">Please Select start time</option> <%Do While NOT Rs1.EOF%>
1. i want to get the current time, possibility no from client computer ( sometimes their time is wrong)? i dont know whether can achieve but if cannot, then never mind, just get from client computer.
2. for example now is 1:25 am, i want to generate dynamically every half an hour timing from 2 am(round up) till for example 11 am
I want to open a particular URL and download a file say ABCD.log every half an hour. (the same file) Is there any way i can automate this process using java script or any other method?
I have a page here [URL] I can add the rows now dynmically. My problem when submit I want the locations to be selected and the location cant be same. I have put this <select class='required' but is not workning either too. Secondly I want to make sure the dwell time column is fields in hour:minute format.
What is happening is $(this) is no longer based on .expand being the (this) that is clicked.
like if i have a button SOMEWHERE randomly on the page with this
<div onclick="Minimize('_alerts');">Click Here</div> this will minimize alerts but because the (this) in minimize function doesn't actually point to the right button that I want to add a class to.
Is there a way to modify the minimize function so that it finds the <div id="mytoggle"><ul> <li class="expand boxminimize" rel="_alerts"> using the rel toggle, and then changes the class of the li from expand boxminimize to boxexpanded??
just like the .expand click function I posted on the top of the post that works?
Another thing that has been driving me crazy is that css positioning is handled differently by different browsers. JS is not my area, but I can do a lot with CSS, and I do, but cross browser compatibility is killing me.
I can use an IF IE statement and only IE runs that segment of code, but I haven't been able to figure out out how to make ONLY firefox or ONLY opera or safari enact an encapsulated segment of code. The same type of IF statement doesn't work for them.
Is there a single method using JS that works for all browsers?
function result(){ var result = document.getElementById('resss').innerHTML; }
But what I actually want is to import data from a table of an external website. E.g. I want to get the innerHTML of a specific cell in column 3 and row 2 of a specific site.
